ʻO ka hīnano o Puna kuʻu liʻa E lauwiliwili ai kaʻiʻiʻni Nipo ninipo hoʻi i ke aloha Ka lehua haʻalewa lā i ke kai ʻO ke kai nehe mai i ka uluhala E hoʻohenoheno nei kuʻu nui kino No Puna ka makani Moaniʻala E hali hali ana i kuʻu haʻehaʻe ʻEnaena Puna i ke ahi a pele ʻUʻina laka huaʻinaʻi Puʻu ʻŌʻō Puʻō ke ahi lapalapa i luna Punohunohu i ke ano ahiahi Haʻina ʻia mai ana ka puana No ka hīnano o Puna paia ʻala Hʻaina hou mai ana ka puana No ka hoa lūlana moe i ke ala |
The hinano of Puna is my desire The rustling sea by the hala grove Puna glows in Pele’s fire |
