E imi oe i ka waiwai o na tupuna, e huli i kou alo i hope, aia ke kaula ula o ko kakou piko! E na koa, e ala mai, e tu paa ma ke ala o na tupuna. E haere mai katou e haere mai i mua!
Search for the source of your ancestors, look to the past, there is the sacred cord of the lineage. Oh warriors awaken, stand firm on the path of your people. Let us move, let us move forward!
Holo mai ke kanaka mano i uka
Ka mano niho wakawaka
E pae ka waa, ka waa he nui, ka waa peleleu
No hea mai ka ia, ka ia oioi, niho wakawaka
Mai ka aina nui mamao loa
Mai Tahiti nui, Tahiti roa, tahiti pa mamao i te hono i wairua
Holo mai me ke arii o Wehiatua
Ua ike ia ma Teahupoo
Ua hiki mai ka maka o ka ihe
Ka ihe lau meti a ka halawai
Ka pohaku palahlaha a ka ai
Ka laau a ka manu
Ka alelo a ke kua
E pae, e ka manu pae, e pae i ka motu
E inu i ka wai a Kane
The warriors sail here
Those with sharp teeth
The canoes will and. the many, the big ones
From where do these warriors come from
From a land far away
From a distant land, a long land, from a place where the spirits reside
They who journeyed with the chief Wehiatua
He who was known at the land of Teahupoo
The point of the spears have arrived
The barbed tips from the horizon
The broad, flat stones of the strikes
The staff adorned with birds
The tongue of the gods
Land oh distant birds, land you canoe
Drink of Kane's water
