Return mamo

I hea nā mamo o ka pae moku? Aia ma Kahikānāwai paha? Na nā kōlea e hahai aku nā mamo! I hea ka wahi no ka noho 'ana mai o kēia mau mamo? Nui nā kolea mai ka moku honu i lele mai. He aha kā lākou kuleana no kēia pae moku? 'A'ohe ea? E ho'i mai e nā mamo! E ho'i a ho'i mai i ka pūnana maoli. E ho'i mai a kāko'o e loa'a ka wai no ka lehua maka. Where are all of the mamo of these islands? In Kahikānāwai perhaps? The kōlea have chased these mamo away! Where is this plaee where these mamo reside?

I There's an enormous amount of kōlea that fly over. What is their duty to these islands? Fly home. Return mamo! Return, return to the nest of comfort. Return and help to obtain the waters for the lehua maka. Kamalani A. Childs Via the lnternet
