Tahitian Lyrics – Ia Vai Hau Noa Tāua
Verse 1 (x2)
E hīmene nō ‘oe teie
Nō ‘oe e to’u hoa here
Nō tō tāua ta’atira’a
I mua i te Atua
Hina’aro nei au e fa’aite to’u here
Chorus (x2)
Ua here au ia ‘oe
Ua here au ia ‘oe
Mai te mātāmua no to tāua orara’a
Ia vai hau noa tāua
I teie nei e ‘amuri noatu
Verse 2
Ua ta’ati to mā’ua here
Ua patu tō māua ‘utuāfare
Māuruuru e te Atua
No to māua ‘ōro’a
Te hina’aro nei au e fa’aite to’u here
Chorus
Outro (x2)
Ia vai hau noa tāua
I teie nei e ‘amuri noatu
