Lehulehu na- hau'oli limahana ku- i mau laina loihi no hola nui i ku-ai mai nui na- kopena mau o ke-ia ha'io-lelo aloha 'ia. (Huge numbers of joyous workers stand in long lines to buy many copies of this beloved speech.)

Ua hiki e mana'o ho'opuka 'oe, ina- makemake 'oe. (You can comment if you want). Manaolana au e lohe mai 'oe. (I hope to hear from you...this is such an idiomatic expression I am sure I said it totally wrong, but you get the point). Me ka aloha pumehana ia 'oe, kou hoaloha o Lopaka. (With warm love and affection to you, your friend Lopaka)

Wenn Sie nicht hierleben, surfen Sie nicht hier!

Si usted no vive aqui, no praqctique surf aqui!

Se non vivet e qui, non pracichi il surfing qui !

Als u neit heir leeft, surf neit hier!
