HE‘EIA
Aia i He‘eia la,
I ka nalu e he‘e ana.
He‘e ana i ka muku la,
Ho‘i ana i ka lala.
A na‘u i kikaha la,
‘Oia ‘ae kai.
A he kuhihewa ko]u la,
Aia i ka poli.
Ha‘ina mai ka puana la,
O Halala i ka nuku manu.
HE‘EIA (TRANSLATION)
There at He‘eia,
On the wave surfing.
Surfing in the crest,
Going out on the backwash.
When I maneuver,
(I reach) the water's edge.
I mistook a person,
For someone else,
There on my bosom.
Tell the story,
Of Halala of the bird-beak.
I ka nalu e he‘e ana.
Ho‘i ana i ka lala.
‘Oia ‘ae kai.
Aia i ka poli.
O Halala i ka nuku manu.
On the wave surfing.
Going out on the backwash.
(I reach) the water's edge.
For someone else,
There on my bosom.
Of Halala of the bird-beak.
