• 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
