Ki Uta E

We are voyagers seeking
The god of the vast ocean is here
The journey is good
It is calm

Alas, alas
To the front
The birds are urging
Alas, alas
The land, so peaceful
But it was taken by strangers

Unite above
Tamanuitera
Sail across the Pacific Ocean
Written above
Coral, shells
Lonely, with the gentle breeze

Alas, alas
Leave it behind
Discover new lands

Alas, alas
Settle it
The home, make it right
To the land

Alas, alas
My crew are seafarers
A story handed down
That I am reciting

Alas, alas
The land is peaceful
Indeed, give it
To the land
