Paroles et traduction Kealiʻi Reichel - Ka' Opihi O Kanapou

Ka' Opihi O Kanapou

I Kanapou ka i'a makaiāuli
Me he pai pu'u ala i ho'opu'u 'ia
Mai ka lae 'o Hālona
A ka ihu o ka lae 'o Kaule lā
'Eā lā 'eā lā 'eā

'O ka 'opihi hālala lā 'eā
Hamohamo i ka pali hālala lā 'eā
Kolo i ka pōhaku hālala lā 'eā
Po'ipū 'umi'umi hālala lā 'eā
'Eā lā 'eā lā 'eā

'O ka i'a ia i pokepoke 'ia
E ka lēhia o ke kulu aumoe
Hinuhinu wale i ka lihi o ke kai
I ke kai oluhia o Kalapakea lā
'Eā lā 'eā lā 'eā

Ka' Opihi O Kanapou

In Kanapou, the fish are makāiāuli
Like the tail of the pu'u ala when it is hooked
From the point of Hālona
To the tip of the point of Kaule
'Ēā lā 'eā lā 'eā

Oh the delicious 'opihi
Gather it on the hālala cliff
Scrape it off the hālala rock
Po'ipū 'umi'umi hālala
'Ēā lā 'eā lā 'eā

The fish is speared
By the fisherman with a casting net
Waiting quietly by the edge of the sea
In the peaceful waters of Kalapakea
'Eā lā 'eā lā 'eā
