Tatou o tagata folau
vala'auina
Le atua o sami tele e o mai
Ua ava'e le lu'itau e lelei
Tapenapen.......a
Olo, olo vaka
Aue, aue
Nuku i mua
Te manulele e tataki e
Aue, aue
Te fenua, te malie
Nae ko hakilia kaiga e
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
Aue, aue
we set a course to find
a brand new island
everywhere we roam
Aue, aue
we keep our island
in our mind
and when it's time
to find home
we know our way
Aue, aue we are explorers
reading every sign
we tell the stories of our
elders in a never-ending
chain aue, aue
Te fenua, te malie
Na heko hakilia
we know the way
