[Tatou o tagata folau
Vala’auina e le atua
O le sami tele e o mai
La ava’e le lu’itau e lelei
Tapenapena
Holoholo vakaaue

Aue ! Aue ! Nuku i mua
Te manulele e tataki iei
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
