Lualualei
"Hi‘iaka passed along the kula (plain) of Ma‘ili, and then turned to look at the uplands. She saw the dazzling light of the sun on the uplands of Lualualei and Hi‘iaka chanted:
|
Wela ka la e! Wela ka la e! |
The sun is hot! The sun is hot! |
|
Ua wela i ka la ke kula o Lualualei. |
The heat of the sun is on the plain of Lualualei. |
|
Ua nau ia e ka la a ‘oka‘oka. |
The sun chews it up entirely." |
