HE‘EIA Lyrics

HE'EIA

Aia i He'eia la,
I ka nalu e he'e ana.

He'e ana i ka muku la,
Ho'i ana i ka lala.

A na'u i kikaha la,
'Oia 'ae kai.

A he kuhihewa ko]u la,
Aia i ka poli.

Ha'ina mai ka puana la,
O Halala i ka nuku manu.



HE'EIA (TRANSLATION)

There at He'eia,
On the wave surfing.

Surfing in the crest,
Going out on the backwash.

When I maneuver,
(I reach) the water's edge.

I mistook a person,
For someone else,
There on my bosom.

Tell the story,
Of Halala of the bird-beak.
