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.
