Aue, aue,
We set a course to find
A brand new island everywhere we row,
Aue, aue,
We keep our island in our mind
And when it’s time to find home,
We know the way.
Aue, aue,
we are explorers reading every sign
we tell the stories of our elders
in the never ending chain
Aue, aue
te fenua, te malie,
Nae ko hakilia
We know the way
