‘Ānāvai by Varua Ino - Tahitian Lyrics

‘Ānāvai tells the story of a young man lost in darkness and turmoil, searching for his path through his ancestry and the eyes of his child. Torn between faith, love and a world that confuses his mind, he questions those who have led him away from his culture and identity. He turns back to the river of his ancestors, seeking answers about who he is, where he comes from and what he truly belongs to.

Tahitian Lyrics – ‘Ānāvai

Intro
‘O vai te metua? ‘O vai te Atua?
Nō vai tō’u here? ‘O vai te hina’aro?

Verse 1
E tāmata rā vau e haru i te fā o te mahana
I ni’a i te ‘ānāvai o tō tātou tupuna
Ua piri te manu i te feti’a
E tāmata rā vau e haru i te maita’i
I roto i tōna mata, tama here
Nō tō ‘oe orara’a

Chorus 1
‘O vai te metua? ‘O vai te Atua?
E fa’aora ia’u, vau nei i roto i te pōiri
Nō vai tō’u here? ‘O vai te hina’aro?
I tō’u nei pure, vau te varua ‘ino
Nō vai tō’u ‘ino? ‘O vai te ‘ārere?
O teie mahana, mahana nō te pohe

Verse 2
E tāmata rā vau e haru i te fā o te rā
I ni’a i te ‘ānāvai o tō tātou mau tupuna
E tāmata rā vau e haru i te ‘oa’oa
I roto i tōna mata, tama here
Nō tō ‘oe orara’a

Chorus 2
‘O vai tō’u nūna’a? O vai tōna i’oa?
Ua mo’e roa ia ‘u, tōna peu mā’ohi
Nō vai teie toto? Nō vai teie ‘ā’au?
Ua tae te manu i te feti’a
Vāhi nō tōna moea, vāhi nō tō’u hīro’a

Verse 3
E tāmata rā vau e haru i te maita’i
I ni’a i te ‘ānāvai ō tō tātou mau tupuna
E tāmata rā vau e haru i te hanahana
I roto i tōna mata, tama here
Nō tō ‘oe orara’a

Outro
‘O vai te metua? ‘O vai te Atua?
Nō vai tō’u here? O vau te varua ‘ino
