1) :37 second recording available from Smithsonian Folkways

'Ūlei pahu i ka moku

Waiwaiole Kala

Performed by - Waiwaiole Kala - Vocals;

Notes - Waiwaiole Kala, though aware of the use of the chant as a hula pahu and of Keahi Luahine's tradition, performs it without instrumental accompaniment as a hula pua'a (pig dance chant). The text is very similar to that performed by Pukui. This chant is prophetic of the coming of foreigners to Hawai'i and of their overwhelming influence on the Hawaiian. This recording was made in 1923.

Credits - Recorded by Helen Roberts ; Translated by Keahi Luahine ; Translated by Mary Kawena Pukui ; Performed by Kawena Pukui

`Ula Kalaeloa I Ka Lepo A Ka Makani - Traditional

'Ula Kalaeloa i ka lepo a ka makani

Kai ho'onu'anu 'ia 'apua Kalama'ula

'Ike a ku'u mana'o ia'u kula

Hea mai Kaiolohia

'Eu ho'i maua i Ka'ana e

Aloha ia'u ke kula o Niniwai

O'u hoa i Kala'iakamanu e

Manu a hoa laukona i ke kee'lau

Au'a 'ia e ka moe in a ke loha la he 'ai lili ka

Aia ua 'ike au

Red is Kalaeloa with dust raised by the wind

The dust concentrates at Kalama'ula as

   though it were a basket 

At sight of it I thought of my plain

Kaiolohia calls to me

To return to Ka'ana

In love am I with the plain of Niniwai

With my companions at Kala'iakamanu

Bird companions that shy away among

   the leaves 

Love that is dreamt of is held back by jealousy

This is known
