Aia i `?lika Ka ihu o ka moku. Ua hao o pa`ihi, N? pe'a i ka makani. Ke liolio nei Ke kaulu likini, `Alu`alu `ole iho, N? pe`a i ka makani. |
There is the `Arctic' The bow of the ship Moving powerfully, Sails set to the wind. Stretched taut The rigging, Not slack, Sails set to the wind. |

The Hawaiian song, `?lika, is a hula. It tells of the ship,
Arctic, landing at Kauai in 1787. The origins of the song are uncertain,
but it has sometimes been credited to Charles Ka`apa. "Arctic" becomes "`?lika." In Hawaiian; the paucity of consonants in the language makes it difficult to transcribe foreign names. |
