ʻO ka ʻĀina huna
He paʻi nā pepeiao.
Po'o kona po'o mai ka paia a pa'i i ka papahele me ka leo
Ua paheʻe kona mau niho niho i nā kihi o nā lehelehe puʻupuʻu;
Ua kama'āina loa ka pilau o ka mash fermented.

“Ua hiki ʻoe i ka home o Reverend Simons a me kona ʻohana.

"Mai uē ʻoe e Mandy, e pule wau no ʻoe.
Malia paha e hoʻouna mai ke Akua i ke kōkua iā mākou," wahi āna.

Ua kau ʻo Melissa liʻiliʻi i kahi rose hoʻokahi ma luna o ka huna huna o kona makuahine
Ua hoʻopiʻi ka pō i ke ola o Katy.
