He Inoa No Pauahi

He Inoa No Pauahi - Traditional

Honi ana i ke anu i ka mea hu`ihu`i
Hu`i hewa i ka `ili i ka ua Po`aihala
Lei ana i ka mokihana i ka wewehi o Kaiona
Lihau pue i ke anu hau`oki o Kaleponi

Hia`ai ka welina ka nene`e a ka `ohelopapa
Pupua i ka noe mohaha i ke anu
Noho no me ka `ano`i ka mana`o ia loko
`O loko hana nui pau`ole i ke ana`ia

A ka wailele `o Niakala `ike i ka wai anuenue
I ka po`ai`ai a ka `oho hali`i pa`a i laila
Pue ana i ka `ehu wai pupu`u i ke ko`eko`e
Eia iho ka mehana o ka poli o Hi`ilei

E ô e ka wahine hele la o Kaiona
Alualu waili`ula o ke kaha pua `ohai
`O ka ua lani polua po anu o ke Ko`olau
Ku`u hoa o ka malu ki malu kukui o Kaho`iwai

She smells the cool and refreshing air
Chilled is her skin by the Po`aihala rain
She wears the mokihana, the adornment of Kaiona
She shivers in the chilly cold of California

She delights and marvels at the creeping strawberries
That bloom profusely in the mist and chilly air
She remains with great love that comes from within
Her great heart whose depths cannot be measured

At the waterfall of Niagara she saw the rainbow arch
And the mist that spread all around there
She shrank from the water spray shivered in the cold
And found warmth in the bosom of Hi`ilei

Answer, O lady who walks in the sunshine of Kaiona
Where mirages dance on the `ohai covered plain
In the very foggy rain on the cold night of Ko'olau
My companion of the ki and kukui of Kaho`iwai

High Chief Abner Paki

High Chiefess Laura Konia

Source: Kamehameha Schools HSI - This name song for Bernice Pauahi Bishop is translated by Larry Lindsey Kimura. Kaiona is a goddess of Mt. Ka`ala, Kaho`iwai a place in Manoa. Bernice Pauahi Paki was born December 19, 1831 at `Aikupika (Egypt), the family home, the site mauka of the intersection of King and Bishop streets. Her father was High Chief Abner Paki, descended from Kiwala`o, the Maui ali`i and the Kamehameha dynasty of Hawaii. Her mother was High Chiefess Laura Konia, the granddaughter of Kamehameha I. She was hanai to Kina`u, the eldest daughter of Kamehameha I and her husband, Kekuanao`a, the governor of Oahu when she was 1-week-old. At age 7, her hanai mother died of mumps and she was returned to her natural parents. Described as the best educated of the Hawaiian royal women, she was a gifted and well rounded student. In 1847, she met Charles Reed Bishop, from Glen Falls, New York. They fell in love and were married in 1850, when the princess was 18 years old. Violently opposed to this union, Pauahi's parents, Paki and Konia, did not attend the wedding, hoping instead, that the princess would marry Lot Kapuaiwa, Kamehameha V. In time, as the marriage proved to be very happy, Pauahi's parents accepted their son-in-law. Lot, Kamehameha V and Pauahi remained fast friends. On his deathbed, Lot sent for Pauahi wishing to name her as sucessor to the throne. She refused, and Lot Kamehameha died without naming an heir.
