"I" come from emptiness to light,
Pua mai mai au ka po Ilocano o ka malamalama,
"I" am the breath that nourishes life,
Owau no ha ka, ka mauli ola,
"I" am that emptiness, that silence beyond all consciousness,
Owau poho no ka, ke ka’ele mawaho a’e o no Apau Ike.
The "I", the perfect, the absolute.
Ka I, Ke Kino OHI, na Mea Apau.
“I” draw my bow of rainbows across the waters,
Ka a’e au i ku’u Pío o na anuenue mawaho a’e o na kai à Pau,
The continuum of minds with matters.
Ka ho’omaumau o mana’o ame na na mea à Pau.
“I” am the incoming and outgoing of breath,
Owau no ka “ho”, a me ka “Ha”
The invisible, untouchable breeze,
El huna ka makani nahenahe,
The undefinable atom of creation.
Ka “Hua” huna o Kumulipo.
"I" am the "I".
Owau no ka “I”.
