(69) Ke ele na bale ele
You came without notice—
To break our deep sleep, You gave a clarion call.
Gliding on wayward winds,
You sang the song of total attainment.
In the sky is the sun; underfoot is the earth;
Sounding are the horns; bustling are the roads.
We were asleep, losing urgent time—
You shook off our negligent lethargy.
Toward the stream of effulgence,
In rhythm, you danced and sang.
You ascended the path of progress—
You climbed the path; You gave a clarion call.
Audio recording
There is no fanfare for the true nobility.
