Great Dragon Goddess of the Hawaiians

Bring the Dragons, the Kupua Dragons

From the hidden land of Kane

To the Hawaiian Islands

Dragons and kupuas

Spirit servants of the Gods

She lived in the pit

Nuuanu Valley clay

A place called Luapalolo

The pit of sticky clay

Dragons find your homes

Spread out around the islands



The precipice of Nuuanu Valley

Just above Honolulu

After many long years

Lived two dragon women

They formed 2 large stones

With miraculous power

One stone long and smooth

The other round and rough

Long stone on seaward side

Leaves of ferns cover Hau-ola

The other stone Ha-puu

Lehua flowers are Kupuas

Ha-Muki lived in the deep pools

Near the place of Ka-mo-o-loa

The long journeys that dragons make

Over the plains of Waialua

She and her descendants guard

And destroy those who travel this way

The Self-Reliant Dragon

Brought the dragons, the Kupua dragons

The Self-Reliant Dragon

Brought the dragons, the Kupua dragons

You have the power to

Grant us, Grant us safe passage
