LYRICS:                                                                  

[Intro: Opetaia Foa'i]                                       
Tatou o tagata folau e vala’auina                
E le atua o le sami tele e o mai                    
Ia ava’e le lu’itau e lelei                                
Tapenapena                                                    

[Hook 1: Chorus, Opetaia Foa'i]
Aue, aue                                                         
Nuku i mua                                                    
Te manulele e tataki e                                  
Aue, aue                                                          
Te fenua, te mālie                                         

Nae ko hakilia mo kaiga e                          
[Verse 1: Lin-Manuel Miranda]
We read the wind and the sky when the sun is high
We sail the length of the seas on the ocean breeze
At night, we name every star
We know where we are
We know who we are, who we are

[Hook 2: Chorus, Lin-Manuel Miranda]
Aue, aue
We set a course to find
A brand new island everywhere we roam
Aue, aue
We keep our island in our mind
And when it's time to find home
We know the way

[Hook 3: Chorus, Lin-Miranda Miranda]
Aue, aue
We are explorers reading every sign
We tell the stories of our elders in a never-ending chain
Aue, aue
Te fenua, te mālie
Nā heko hakilia
We know the way
