Nofo nofo tagata kaiga
Te hauniga te vaka tenei
Ke makeke (Tuku mai te mana)
E lagona tagata kaiga

Te mana, te manatu
O tenei nuku katoa
Ke fakamavae te vaega
Ke manuia te malaga

Olo olo te malaga
Malamalama
E lagona
E malamalama (Maea!)

Te aumaga tu ki luga
Toho te vaka (Hee), toho te vaka
Toho toho te vaka tenei (Hee)
Ke makeke (Hee)

Nofo nofo tagata kaiga (Hee)
Kae fakatofa te vaega (Hee)
Olo olo te malaga
Malamalama (Hee)

Te malaga
E malamalama
Matou uma (Hee)
Matou uma (Hee)
Ooh

Tu ki luga, toho te vaka
Toho te vaka
Tumutumu te agaga
Tumutumu te alofa

Galuega
Te vaega
Taunuku manuia ai (Tu te la)
Tenei te vaega

Manuia aeae (Tu te la)
Toho te vaka
Tumutumu te agaga (Ki tatou uma)
Galuega (Te vaega)

Vaega (Ke makeke)
Taunuku manuia ai (Ke katoa)
Tumutumu te agaga
Tumutumu te alofa

Tenei te vaega
Manuia aeae
Toho te vaka
Tumutumu te agaga

Ki tatou uma galuega
Te vaega, vaega (Taunuku manuia ai)
