The windmill just stands still 
No water comes swirling up
You are a constant reflection of me 
My companion, always conversing with me
Beloved indeed is Môlîlele 
When the clouds swirl, the ocean is stormy 
Beloved is the koae bird from 
The waterfall of Wai`ôhinu
Just don't you forget 
This attractive peacock
Tell the refrain 
No water comes swirling up
