Let us go to Mahukona and Enter this famous land Mountains of Kohala are in plain view That run from the uplands to the sea Water of Waimea is cold The water burns the skin The chilly rain Kipu`upu`u The smooth pounding sea of Kawaihae The white sand and whispering sea Let us glance up At the beauty of Mauna Kea Think of the heat in the heart of Mauna Loa There is the top of Hualalai The famous mountains where the gods dwell |
