Rough lyrics based on Uvean

Te Hiva 'Ko Te Moana'

Te leva au fakatali ai
Topa mai ki nei
Anau koe ki ahau,
Toku i tui a koe
Malamalama e taua
Manu maloe tatau maua

Ko te moana,
Kalaga e kalaga mai
Manako mai kia au ke manatu keve vehi ai

Lago nai kiai toku tiga
Malepe matou e sea
Tu vehe tau tui ai toku loto
Malamalama e taua
Manu maloe tatau maua

Ko te moana,
Ka laga e ka laga mai
'E ei au i oi tu taki ka manuia ai koe

Nei ko ae tonu ku mai
'E hoho ti'iga
Fakatahi au mame
Nahola ai koe
Malamalama e taua
Manu maloe tatau maua

Ko te moana
Kalaga e kalaga mai
Manako mai kia au ke manatu keve vehi ai

Ko te moana
Ka laga e ka laga mai
'E ei au i oi tu taki ka manuia ai koe

'E ei au i oi tu taki ka manuia ai koe

If there be a sequel, it will be nice to hear more of your songs in it.

Being with someone from Tokelau for 12 years and long before Moana my oldest fell asleep to your music, and I’m still not over how insane it was to hear Opetaia’s voice in a Disney movie 😂 my late husband would have just loved it ❤

[froggiman]

'Bonus songs'. That is a cute way too put it.

[peternelson]

man I need to add this to my island sound track for i can play this when i am angry, sad, or just need to be one with the ocean like i did yesterday. what an amazing song

[bobapearl]

I can imagine *Tui and Sina singing* *Ko Te Moana* on the shore under the starry night hoping that Moana is somewhere safe and her mission will be successful 💙

[nangsanhame]

This song make me cry 😢
Love u Olivia foa'i ❤️❤️ and the band te vaka ✌️

For way too many years now I have been an obsessive jazz nut! But jazz can sometimes be a little bit claustrophobic I guess, and we tend to look inwards. From the very first time I heard Te Vaka some 10 years ago or more, they have been like a blast of fresh air just wafting over my bald head! Utterly sweeps you away into another place and space. Your sense of harmony and melody is simply beautiful! Thanks so much - it Is ALWAYS a pleasure. A warm hearted "Merci" from France!!😄

Oh my gods, years of listening to this band and this soundtrack, how did I never hear this? WHY WAS THIS CUT?

[LakBikeTV]

thank you Olivia for pulling this song into the horizon, love from the Philippines <3

[michaelrmcornejo]

what a gift of a song!!! this means to me more than Te Vaka and anyone will ever know. I appreciate this wholeheartedly. I miss my Moana Marilyn. I pray she's doing well. And I hope to reunite with her soon. Mahalo/Salamat/Thank you to Opetaia Foa'i and all of Te Vaka.

[SunnyDayzze]

Loimata e maligi! 😭 e manaia te pehe! Thank you sharing this beautiful song and thank you for keeping our Tokelau gagana & aganuku alive with your music! Alofa lahi atu! ❤️

[wildxoce]

Brings a tear to my eye. Such a beautiful song and beautiful language. Olivia’s voice is angelic.

[KotaloTheTeam]

Humble request for the rest of the 'bonus' songs please, beautiful <3 <3 <3
