- At Kanapou is the dark-fleshed
limpet
- Clustered like little
hills
- From Hälona point
- All the way to the tip of Kaule
point
- Tra la la la
-
-
- Chorus:
- The giant limpet, oh
- Rubs against the large cliff,
oh
- Crawls on the large rocks,
oh
- Covering up, enticing, large,
oh
- Tra la la la
-
-
- It is the limpet that is
scooped out
- By the skilled fisherman of the
midnight hours
- Shining there at the sea's
edge
- The surging sea of
Kalapakea
- Tra la la la
