I ka malu o ka po, ulana ka wahine i ka lauhala
In the shelter of night, the woman weaves the lauhala
Pa’a kona na’au, ‘a’ole e haki ika luhi.
Her heart stays firm and is not broken by weariness.
Mai kona mau lima e hanau mai ai ka ho’omau o ka lahui.
From her hands is born the continuance of the people.
