The Three Wind Storms of Hina Hina's permanent residence lay at Kalua'aha A cave dwelling hidden at Pa'o'iki Ridge Protective eyes guard the Ko'olau districts Wawahonua'aho, the great wind gourd Sealed within are the three storms of Hina Hina opens slightly the gourd cover The Ilinahu wind gushes forth from Kamakou Trees are uprooted and thrown over In the path of the Ilinahu, shrubbery is twirled Sweeping down and out to sea. Hina opens halfway the gourd cover Causing skies to darken on Pailolo Channel Lighting flashes, thunder cracks, shaking the island Wild gushes of wind causing ocean floods Such is the way of the Uluhewa wind. The worst storm is released, the Luluku Crushed are the chiefs, crushed is the land This is the way Moloka'i, the child, is protected Great Moloka'i, child of the Goddess Hina.
