Unbelievable Waters of Alekoki Like the rains of the uplands In Nu‘u-anu. Cold Forsaken me Waiting there Believing certain Your thoughts were of me. Here I am At ma‘ema‘e Hill Where your sweet fragrance Has come to me. This body is captive To your voice. Thoughts linger At the waters of Kapena. Blocked Upland streams, And I am above In little rooms. Outside M?mala Spray flurries And I am wet with foam And sea slippery to the skin. One brave man Faces the storm, The streams above And the blustering wind. A wind bringing news That the King of England hears. This deep black night Cannot worry me. I behold beauty And the flowers of Mauna ‘ala. Tell the refrain- Waters of Alekoki.
