Kai koʻo o Kilauea kai koʻo o Puna Popoʻi i ke ʻā a Pele ʻO ke kai ʻula ʻo ke kai ʻōlena Ke ala kai o Pele Haki kū ka ʻino haki kakala Kao kū i oʻu Lehua Uwe Hōpoe holo i kai Hāʻena ʻAʻohe ala e ola Wela ʻo Kilauea, wela ʻo Puna Ua ʻā i ke ahi a Pele Mālama ke kanaka mālama ka lehua Mālama ke kaunu moe ipo  Hui: Haʻuhaʻu uwe, haʻuhaʻu uwe Haʻuhau uwe	The strong force of Kilauea and Puna Forms a burning wave of Pele The red and yellow (lava) flows combine To form a fiery path of Pele The fire (Pele) breaks everything to pieces Which is overwhelming to my Lehua Hopoe cries and runs seaward to Haʻena But, there's nowhere to find refuge   Kilauea and Puna are hot As the fires of Pele burn Cherish the people, cherish the lehua Cherish the place where we make love    Chorus: Sob, sob Sob
Source: Recorded by Makaha Sons on CD " Kuikawa". Hōpoe, the hula dancer, was the best friend of Hiʻiaka, the youngest sister of Pele. They spent their happiest days together in Puna, where Hōpoe taught Hiʻiaka the hula. Pele was envious of this friendship, and destroyed Puna in a fit of jealousy, a place beloved by Hiʻiaka. Her grief was magnified when she realized Pele had turned Hōpoe to a balancing stone in the sea at Keaʻau.
