Tatou o tagata folau e vala'auina
E le atua o le sami tele e o mai
C                         D
Ia ava'e le lu'itau e lelei

Aue, aue

Nuku i mua
D               G

Aue, aue

Te fenua, te malie,

Nae ko hakilia mo kaiga e.

G
We read the wind and the sky
When the sun is high
We sail the length of sea
On the ocean breeze
C                      D
At night we name every star
                 G
We know where we are
We know who we are, who we are

C
Aue, aue
G
We set a course to find
D                       G
A brand new island everywhere we row
C
Aue, aue
G
We keep our island in our mind
D
And when it’s time to find home
We know the way

C
Aue, aue
       Em
we are explorers reading every sign
G                          D
we tell the stories of our elders
                     C
in the never ending chain

Aue, aue
Em        G
te fenua, te malie
D
Nae ko hakilia
               G
We know the way
