Tatōu Te Horomoana

We are the traveling people
Chosen by the god of the deep sea
Come forth, the storm is brewing
Preparation

Sailing canoe
Oh, oh, heading forward
The birds chirp
Oh, oh, the peaceful land

The village was left behind
Eyes to the sun, the sky, and the sea, honoring ancestors
Harvest from the deep sea, eyes to the sun
Stars of the sky, your guidance is steadfast

Your guidance is steadfast, steadfast
Alas, alas, hold on to the sail
Land after land, we explore
Alas, alas, the sky's stars guide us

The journey of the sail continues
Alas, alas
Ocean waves beckon
Ancestral journey of exploration

Oh, oh, the peaceful land
The village was left behind, guide us
