The two girls sat and wished they had a brother. Chorus Aue!
They threw out from the bottle on to the water the shadow of their brother. etc. Sina looked at the shadow and was struck with its beauty. "That is my husband," said she, "wherever I can find him." etc. Then Sinaleuuna wept and uttered in soliloquy: "Oh, Sinaleuuna, Sinaeteva, you are enraged! Where is our brother? 'Tis for him we are here and slighted." etc.
Then the sisters sat down and filled into a bamboo bottle The liquid shadow of their brother. etc. A report came from Fiji of the beautiful lady Sina, And that all the swells of Fiji were running after her. etc. Then off went Sinaleuuna and Sinaeteva to Fiji, And took with them the shadow of their brother Maluafiti. etc.
