Tatou o tagata folau Vala'auina e le atua O le sami tele e o mai Ua ava'e le lu'itau e lelei Tapenapena Holoholo vaka Aue, aue! Nuku i mua Te manulele e tataki iei 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 the 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 Nae ko hakilia We know the way!
