''Holiholi bushi'' are a group or type of folk songs sung by Japanese plantation workers on sugarcane plantations in early 20th century Hawaii.
 
 
 
One of the most famous such songs might be translated as "My husband cuts the cane stalks / And I trim their leaves / With sweat and tears we both work / for our means."
