The song, a hymn to “Matari‘i”, celebrates the Pleiades as a sacred sign of renewal, abundance, and natural cycles. It links the sky, stars, ocean, and land, symbolizing harmony, fertility, and the return of life through ancestral cosmology and celestial signs.
The song was awarded “Best Composition” at the Heiva i Tahiti 2024 with the Heitoa troup which is the Grand Winner in the Hura Ava Tau category.

Official Tahitian Lyrics – Matari’i
Verse 1
‘Ua ta’ita’i te manu ‘ūpoa nā te reva
Atipari te honu nā te one tahatai
‘Ā’ara te mata arioi i te moe rua poto
Pehepehe te reva ‘ia Rāhiti i te rua roa
Chorus
‘Ia he’e te ra, i te marū o te pō
Māhu’i te fetu ‘ōfa’a, i te hui tārava
Mai raro e tae atu i ni’a, matari’i ē
Ha’atomo te fenua i te tau rāhune
Verse 2
Ara’a te i’a huru rau i te ‘iriātai
I te mata hehē a Tireo nō Varehu
Mārevareva i te topara’a o te mahana
Marama ‘āpī o te Matahiti
Verse 3
‘Ōnihi roa atu ra te reva i te matau a Maui
‘Ua tūtau i roto i te miti faeatai ra
Ha’apahī te moana i te i’a huru rau
‘Ua hi’i te fenua i te hotu rau ora
Chorus (x2)
Outro
Ha’atomo te fenua i te tau rāhune
Traduction en français – Matari’i
