Aloha nui,

Through the Membrane of Pō
Entering through the dance hall of time,
Lehua, Nohili; Kīkepa, Mānā,
safeguard the gateway into the memories of this space.
Kaulakahi, the water way slips them through,
Puka!
They breath through the membrane of Pō,
and are birthed back into the present.
Her bow faces the southern seas
and the islands who brought her into this world.
They patiently await her return.
ʻAihaʻa Makaliʻi
Hānau Makaliʻi i ka pō, hānau Makaliʻi, hānau ka pō
Ala Makaliʻi i ka pō, hū Makaliʻi, hū i ka pō, hū, hū, hū i ka pō
Aia Makaliʻi i ka moana, holo Makaliʻi i ke kai, hoe Makaliʻi i ke kai
Pae Makaliʻi i ka aekai, pae Makaliʻi pae moku hū, ha, he, hū
Hū, ha, he, hū; hū, hū, hū Makaliʻi, Hū!
E ola no e Makaliʻi, he waʻa kaulua mai Hawaiʻi Mai.
He Waʻa He Moku, He Moku He Waʻa.
Me kealoha nui,
Pomaikalani Bertelmann
