Nakulukulu ka nalu i ke ko'a The waves echo upon the coral
A 'apu'upu'u i ka holu malie Whitewashed as it sways gently
E kuhi aku ana ia Kahiki Directing toward Kahiki
Kapeku ana i ka leo o ke kai e Splashing to the voice of the ocean
E aha e E aha e
Ha'a ke ola'i The earthquake dances
I Papalauahi At Papalauahi
Lauahi 'ena'ena i ka mauna Destructively ravaging the mountain
Ha ka uila kuloloku ka ua The lightning cracks as the rain pours
O mai ana ka wahine o ka lua The woman of the pit is calling out
E aha e E aha e
Puana ka inoa a ka wahine Declared is the name of the woman
Ka wahine kapu The sacred woman
I ka maka o ke ahi In the presence of the fire
I Kilauea There at Kilauea
Kahi a ke Kama'ehu Is where the reddish child is
Ola i ke ahi 'a mau loa e May the fires live and burn forever
E aha e E aha e
