translation

Ponyfish mak iloi-iloi
Croaker fish mak ilai-ilai
My dear is very beautiful
But her laugh is loud (and not graceful)

Ponyfish mak iloi-iloi
Croaker fish mak ilai-ilai
If you (little one) want to be wise
Come learn (study hard), don’t be lazy

The sea is calm
The boat floats towards the bluff
The heart recalls, the mouth smiles
Kindness is (always) upheld / encouraged
