Chorus, stanza 3, lua is the Hawaiian bone breaking sport of ancient Hawai`i, forbidden by law in the days of the kingdom. Chorus, stanza 4, “stairway of the shrimp” is a lua hold whereby a warrior lifts his opponent from the ground and breaks his bones in the air.
lyrics
Ua pono no `oe e ka Inuwai
I ka lawe a holu i ka lau o ke pili
Komo pono aku la `oe i ka `ai a ka lua
I ke ala pi`i a ka `opae
You are all right O Inuwai breeze
In setting the leaves of the pili to swaying
You are caught in the grip of the lua
Called “the stairway of the shrimp”
I ka lawe a holu i ka lau o ke pili
Komo pono aku la `oe i ka `ai a ka lua
I ke ala pi`i a ka `opae
You are all right O Inuwai breeze
In setting the leaves of the pili to swaying
You are caught in the grip of the lua
Called “the stairway of the shrimp”
