Disney's Moana introduced much of the world to a sea-going culture, even the most seasoned Mariner knew little of. I have seen a little of the Planets oceans. I believe The Sea is an ever-changing, living organism. She is a beautiful, harsh mistress.
The Samoan language part of the song stirs my ancient soul, in a way I could no longer keep to myself. Thank you for sharing a stunning bit of your world, Mr. Foa'i.
I hope the Disney people paid you handsomely.

This guy’s nasal tone gives off such an ethereal, almost spooky quality!

You know you're a true proud islander when any songs from any of the Pacific Islands makes you feel so proud to be an islander💗

My great grandfather was a welder on a net tender in the south pacific from 1941-1943. He always said that "if the Polynesians sailed up to you, you listened. They know the waters far better than anyone, and are the nicest folks you will ever meet."

Im proud to be an islander..
Even though im not polynesian because im Micronesian this song gives me the pride of being an islander...
Even though im a U.S citizen i still know im from Micronesia..
Im proud to be born in Guam and grew up in Yap!!
This song means alot to me...
It always remind me not to forget that im also an islander even though im also part an american...
I can be both persons because its how it is

Intro: Opetaia Foa'i]
Tatou o tagata folau e vala’auina
E le atua o le sami tele e o mai
Ia ava’e le lu’itau e lelei
Tapenapena

[Hook 1: Chorus, Opetaia Foa'i]
Aue, aue
Nuku i mua
Te manulele e tataki e
Aue, aue
Te fenua te mālie
Nae ko hakilia mo kaiga e

[Verse 1: Lin-Manuel Miranda]
We read the wind and the sky when the sun is high
We sail the length of the seas on the ocean breeze
At night, we name every star
We know where we are
We know who we are, who we are

[Hook 2: Chorus, Lin-Manuel Miranda]
Aue, aue
We set a course to find
A brand new island everywhere we roam
Aue, aue
We keep our island in our mind
And when it's time to find home
We know the way

[Hook 3: Chorus, Lin-Manuel Miranda]
Aue, aue
We are explorers reading every sign
We tell the stories of our elders in a never-ending chain
Aue, aue
Te fenua te mālie
Nae ko hakilia
We know the way
