E le atua o le sami tele e o mai

Ia ava'e le lu'itau e lelei

[MALE VOYAGERS]

Holoholo vaka

[VOYAGERS]

Aue, aue

Nuku i mua

Te manulele e tataki e

Aue, aue

Te fenua te malie

Nae ko hakilia mo kaiga e

[ANCESTOR]

We read the wind and the sky when the sun is high

We sail the length of the seas on the ocean breeze

At night, we name every star, we know where we are

We know who we are, who we are

[VOYAGERS]

Aue, aue

[ANCESTOR]

We set a course to find

A brand-new island everywhere we roam

[VOYAGERS]

Aue, aue

[ANCESTOR]

We keep our island in our mind

And when it's time to find home, we know the way

[VOYAGERS]

Aue, aue

[ANCESTOR]

We are explorers reading every sign

We tell the stories of our elders in a never-ending chain

[VOYAGERS]

Aue, aue

Te fenua te malie

Nae ko hakilia

[VOYAGERS & ANCESTOR]

We know the way
