Tahitian Lyrics – Ua Vai ‘Āpī

I terā rā tau
I to’u vai ‘āpīra’a
Ua here ho’i au ia ‘oe

Tahiti Nui e

I ni’a i te one
I te hiti o te pape
I mana’o ai au i to’u vai ‘āpīra’a

E noa atu te tau ‘aita i mo’e
Ia’u to ‘oe nehenehe rahi
E noa atu te tau e te mau matahiti
Ua vai ‘āpī noa to’u here no o’e

I ni’a i te one
I te hiti o te pape
I mana’o ai au i to’u vai ‘āpīra’a
Ua ‘ite au ua vai ‘āpī to’u here no ‘oe
