We Know The Way Lyrics - Mark Mancina

Tatou o tagata folau e vala'auina 

E le atua o le sami tele e o mai 

Ia ava'e le lu'itau e lelei 

Tapenapena 

Aue, aue 

Nuku I mua 

Te manulele e tataki e 

Aue, aue 

Te fenua, te malie, 

Nae ko hakilia mo kaiga e. 

We read the wind and the sky 

When the sun is high 

We sail the length of sea 

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 row 

Aue, aue, 

We keep our island in our mind 

And when it's time to find home 

We know the way 

Aue, aue, 

We are explorers reading every sign 

We tell the stories of our elders 

In the never ending chain 

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
