Lyrics
‘O Ra‘iātea i ke kai malino, i ka pō mahina
Nanea kāua i ke aumoe
Luakaha i ka ‘olu o ka ulu niu
Te Mehani kau kehakeha i ka lani ākea
Hāli‘i mai la ē ka uhiwai
I nā lihilihi tiare ‘apetahi ē
I ‘Opoa nā pōhaku kamaha‘o o Taputapuātea
Komo i ka nuku o Teavamo‘a
I ka pāheahea o Ari‘itū
Puana ‘ia ku‘u mele no ka ‘āina kūpuna
He mana‘o poina ‘ole
Ho‘i ke aloha i Ra‘iātea ē
Auē ka wahine ē
I ka uka Te Mehani ē
I laila tāua ē
‘Uhe‘uhene nei, auē
