Tu Lugar

Moana, here, here I want you to know now
The village of Mutunui is your place
Dancers rehearsing today
The most ancestral dance
Why a new sound if the old one is quality?

We preserve traditions
And much remains to be done (here)
If you happen to stumble, it's your place

Ours is about sharing (here)
We joke while weaving baskets (aha!)
And the fishermen are back
I want to see them!

Where are you going?
Moana, your village is here
A leader will be needed
And there you will be

At last you will see
Happiness arrive
Where you are from and it happens
In your place!

The coconut gives gifts
What?
The happy tree
And you will distribute each part
What more to ask for?

You will make the net with its fibers
(You will make the net with its fibers)
You will drink its water
(You will drink its water)
You will make fire with its palms
(You will make fire with its palms)
You will eat its flesh
(You will eat its flesh)

The coconut gives gifts
(The coconut gives gifts)
From the trunk to the palm grove
The island gives us everything
And who will leave?

That's how it is here
Safe and well served
And in the future we see
You are there

It will do you good
To learn as I did
You will have happiness
In your place

I like to dance in the water
In the waves of the sea
Mischievous is the water, ha!
How well it misbehaves

The village thinks I'm crazy
That my mind goes far
Your search reaches where
It's your place

Being your father's daughter
Gives you pride
He gave you a lot, but remember
You will hear your inner voice

And when the voice whispers
Chase your star now
Moana, that inner voice
Is you

You will make the net with its fibers
(You will make the net with its fibers)
You will drink its water
(It gives you a pleasant taste)
You will make fire with its palms
(To all the fresh fields)
You will eat its flesh
(Inside they give us bread)

The village gives us its faith (uh, aha!)
The village gives us
The island gives us everything
And who will leave?

I will stay
My home, my people by my side
And when I think of tomorrow
(You will have us)

And I will guide them
Also my people guide me
Towards the future united
(To move forward)

Because the path leads to (your place)
You will always be happy in (your place)
(Your place)
