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 mālie

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 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 mālie

Nā heko hakilia

We know the way
