Old Tobi Fishing Song |
|
| Etai sahah tepamu | You don’t enjoy your life |
| Meheouhemi nohar |
The ocean is shining and calm |
| Etai fisiri hiheyar |
You were never the “hiyahe” bird |
| Ngatai manariuor |
Nor any sea bird |
| Taifiti baotaparar | There is no smell on your fingers (the smell of the sea birds) |
| Taimangau reni soubue |
You don’t get food from seriyout |
| Etai saso tsanih | You don’t enjoy the taste of fish |
