Lava [Tongan translation]

A long, long time ago there was a volcano

living all alone in the middle of the sea

He sat high above his bed watching all the couples play

And wishing that he had someone, too.

And from his lava came this song of hope that he sang

out loud everyday for years and years.

Chorus

I have a dream I hope will come true

That you're here with me and I'm here with you

I wish that the earth, sea, the sky up above

will send me someone to lava.

Years of singing all alone turned his lava into stone

until he was on the brink of extinction

But little did he know that living in the sea below

another volcano was listening to his song.

Everyday she heard his tune her lava grew and grew

because she believed his song was meant for her

Now she was so ready to meet him above the sea

As he sang his song of hope for the last time.

Chorus

Rising from the sea below stood a lovely volcano

Looking all around but she could not see him

He tried to sing to let her know that she was not there alone

But with no lava, his song was all gone

He filled the sea with his tears and watched his dreams disappear

As she remembered what his song meant to her.

Chorus

Oh they were so happy to finally meet above the sea

All together now their lava grew and grew

No longer are they all alone, with aloha as their new home

And when you visit them this is what they sing.

I have a dream I hope will come true

That you'll grow old with me and I'll grow old with you

We thank the earth, sea, the sky, we thank too.

I lava you

I lava you

I lava you.
