He'ē aʻe nā noʻonoʻo no nā keiki hānau hou, e like paha, he lullaby no ka umka,ʻo ia wale nō ka lullaby, moe i kaʻu keiki a me kekahi poʻe'ē aʻe. Makemake au e hoʻomaopopo i nā mākua e haku inoa no nā keiki, a laila hāʻawiʻia kā lākou mauʻano kūikawā mai kekahi hanauna ai kekahi hanauna. A he nui nā mākua i ka manawaʻole, aʻaʻole paha he makemake, e hoʻonui i kā lākou keiki, e inu ma mua o ka moeʻana i kahi lullaby. ʻO kekahi mau mākua, e hōʻoiaʻiʻo paha iā lākou iho, kūʻai i nā CD, nā leo likeʻole me nā lullabies, a ma mua o ko lākou moeʻana e hoʻokomoʻia ana e ke keiki. ʻAʻohe hewa kēia halihali a me keʻano o ka pēpē, no ka mea, pono i kahi keiki liʻiliʻi mālama mālama makua a me ke aloha i kekahi hōʻike.
ʻO nā keiki i ka wā'ōpiopio,ʻaʻole i loaʻa iā lākou ka mālama pono, mālama a aloha, ma keʻano he kūlana, a ma hope o ka pākaha a me ka naʻauʻole, e hopena i ka huhū a me ka huhūʻole. Hiki ke hoʻomanaʻoʻia nā mele mele no nā keiki hou a kani mai ko lākou wā'ōpiopio, a ināʻaʻole makemakeʻoe aʻaʻole paha makemake, hiki keʻikeʻia nāʻike mai nā kumu'ē aʻe, e like me ka mea mai nā puke a nā keiki a me nā pūnaewele pūnaewele. I ko mākou manawa, 'aʻole nā mele a me nā kupunawahine wale nō i meleʻia ai nā mele lullabies, akā, na nā makua kāne hoʻi, i ka manawa o ka lullaby,ʻaʻole i emi iki i ka wahine. ʻO ka hapanui pinepine o nā popes e poina i nā puke o nā lullabies a hoʻomaka e hoʻolālā, a mai waho mai he mea maikaʻi loa. ʻO ke kanaka no ka mālamaʻana i kahi keiki e like me ka nānāʻana o ka wahine. ʻO ka nani a me ke mele maikaʻi ka mea hiamoe i nā mākua a me nā mea nui e moe ai me kaʻoluʻolu i ka manawa.
No ka hoʻonohonohoʻana i ka uaki kūpono no ke keiki,ʻo ia hoʻi, e hoʻoholo i kahi e pono ai ke keiki e moe, pono ka makua e mele i kahi lullaby i kēlā me kēia lā, ma mua o ka moe, a inā he pono,ʻaʻole hoʻokahi.
Ināʻaʻoleʻoe i mele i kahi lullaby i kāu keiki hou aʻaʻoleʻoe i maopopo e makemakeʻo ia, a laila iʻoleʻoe e mele no nā hebedomaʻelua ma mua o kou moeʻanaʻaʻole e lihi lōʻihi, eʻikeʻoe e loli koke ke keiki me ka hana hou. He nui nā makuahine a me nā mākua e hopohopo neiʻaʻole lākou he pepeiao pepeiao a he leo nani, akā,ʻaʻole maopopo i ka maikaʻi o ka hana a mākou e kamaʻilio nei, akā i mua o kona alo. Hiki i ke mele lullaby ke hoʻohui mai i ke keiki aʻo ka "performer" me he makuahine aiʻole he kahu. ʻO ke keiki i kēlā mau manawa hoʻomaka e hilinaʻi i ka mea makua aʻaʻole hopohopo e pani i kona mau maka a hiamoe.
He mea nui ka hiamoe maikaʻi i ka ulu pihaʻana o ke keiki. ʻOiai, he moe maikaʻi a me ka hiamoe e pili nui ana i ke kūlana i hala ma mua o ia, no laila, mai hoʻokau i ka mele ma mua o ka moe a me ka "naʻaupō" a me ka pēpē. Mai poina i ka hanaʻana o nā mele hula mele no nā keiki hou i kahi me ka leoʻole, ma ka leo mālie a me ka mālie. Mai hōʻino i ke keiki ināʻaʻole ia e hiamoe ma hope o ka haʻaluluʻana, no ka mea e ulu ana kāu mau hana i keʻano o ke pēpē aʻo ka hopena maikaʻi loa i loaʻa i mua, e hoʻopauʻia. Inā pauʻole ke keiki i ka manawa, a ua pau ka'ōpū o nā lullabies, hiki iāʻoe ke haʻi i ke keiki i kahi moʻolelo hoihoi e pili ana i ka ulu o nā keiki i ka wā e hiamoe ai lākou.
