Love the fish
Eat the light
Eat fish
Eat until the eighth
Eat and sleep
Love the fish
Food and seafood
Eat fish
Eat until it tastes good
'Ai a ka sawa sawa
Love the fish
Eat well
Eat fish
Food and sweat
Eat and smoke
Love the fish
The food of the 'o'opu
Eat fish
It's in the dark
Eat it white
Love the fish
Food for the opihi
Eat fish
Eat to the eye
Eat until it is full of rocks
Tell it to me
The scorpion is eating
Chicken stew
Chicken and a little poi
Fish until full belly
