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
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 its time to find home We know the way
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 Nā heko hakilia We know the way
