Lyrics:
Tatou o tagata folau vala’auina
le tua o sami tele e o mai
Ia ava’e le lu’itau e lelei
Tapenapena

The God of ocean impels us over wave and swell
Atafa shows us the way at the end of day
By thamakau, by the waves
And by celestial design now
Ra’iatea arises on the horizon line

Aue, aue
Nuku I mua
Te manulele e tataki e
Aue, aue
Te fenua, te malie,
Nae ko hakilia kaiga e

We read the wind and the sky
When the sun is high
We sail the length of sea
On the ocean breeze
At night we name every star
We know where we are
We know who we are, who we are

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

We are explorers reading every sign
We tell the stories of our elders
In a never ending chain

Nā heko hakilia
We know the wayyyyy
tataki e
Aue, aue
We keep our island in our mind
And when it’s time to find home
We know the way

Eyyyy yayyy
Tataki e
Aue, aue
We keep our island in our mind
And when it’s time to find home
We know the way

The madlad flew to Kauai, and learned Polynesian, just to sing Moana.
That is commitment.

[SharpDesign]

You learned the native language part. I'm impressed.

[karanhdream]

I'm not a student working a boring minimum wage summer job anymore...


I'm sailing on a catamaran upon a turquoise sea, carried by a powerful yet gentle breeze filled with the scent of tropical flower as silvery waves take me away on a wonderful journey.


Such is the power of your music Peter... I hope you know how happy you make us 😊

I'm Pākehā (European New Zealander), but this makes me so happy to be from Aotearoa 🇳🇿.
Yay for Moana!!

[dragonbladerin]

I clicked this so fast, I love this song so much and I'm so happy that you did this song. Can't tell you how many cover singer's I used to listen to but you are one of the longest ones I've listened to cause you just have so much fun with what you do, and if I had money I would go to every concert you hold. Keep being the beautiful sunshine that you are!

[justanotherbohemian]

Why isn't Disney working with you yet? You're so amazing and the most remarkable thing is that you do all of this by yourself!

[PeterHollens]

Peter:

[impishDullahan]

When you know all the Tokelauan by heart but can't even begin to get the English words in the right order.
