Tatou o tagata folau e vala’auina E le atua o le sami tele e o mai Ia ava’e le lu’itau e lelei Tapenapena
Aue, aue Nuku I mua Te manulele e tataki e Aue, aue Te fenua, te malie Nae ko hakilia mo 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 everywere 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 Na heko hakilia We know the way
