ENGLISH TRANSLATION.

The sail of my daughter,
  Never broken by the force of foreign clans!
The sail of my daughter,
  Unbroken by the conspiracy of Honiti!
Ever victorious in all her fights
  She could not be enticed to drink poison waters
In the cup of obsidian glass.
  Can my sorrow ever be appeased
While we are divided by the mighty seas?
  Oh my daughter, oh my daughter!
It is a vast and watery road
  Over which I look toward the horizon,
My daughter, oh my daughter!
  I'll swim over the deep to meet you,
My daughter, oh my daughter!
