Translation
​
​K
ūkuluae‘o, the reknowned home of the ae‘o 
They lived near the salt ponds ​
​

​Kani le‘a e ka leo o ka ‘elepaio
He h
ō‘ailona ho‘i na ke kālai wa‘a
L
ā ‘eā, ‘eā lā ‘eā ​
​The joyful sound of ‘elepaio 
Forewarns canoe carvers 


Hanohano wale nō ‘o ka pālila
Inu wai i ka liko pua m
āmane
L
ā ‘eā, ‘eā lā ‘eā
The pālila are honored
Drinking nectar of young m

​

​Lele a‘ela ka ‘ua‘u i ke kai
‘Imi ana i n
ā ‘ono o ka moana
L
ā ‘eā, ‘eā lā ‘eā
The ‘ua‘u glides above the sea
Searching for ocean delicacies
​


Puana e ka u‘i o nā manu like ‘ole
K
īkaha i ka wena ‘ula o ke ao
L
ā ‘eā, ‘eā lā ‘eā 
The beauty of these birds is incomparable
​Soaring in the rosy glow of the sunrise
