What does `Anapau do?
`Anapau rides a horse

What does `Anapau do?
`Anapau goes here and there

Up goes `Anapau
Way up high goes `Anapau

Down goes `Anapau
Way down goes `Anapau

What does `Anapau wear
Silk clothing `Anapau wears

Tell th refrain of what `Anapau does
All is finished for`Anapau

Tell the refrain of the ma`i of `Anapau
All is finished for `Anapau
