You leavin' with the sunrise, eyes low
No tears, just slow 'ia ora na' flow
Ua parau atu vau: Haere marū
One last smile, and off you flew

Nana, nana e te here
I don't hold you down, I set you there
Tere i te aahi, 'ori i te pehe
You free like wind in moonlight

You were fire when my soul stay cold
You gave more than stories told
But now our path split like reef and sea
Still, I bless you silently

Nana, nana e te here
I don't hold you down, I set you there
Tere i te aahi, 'ori i te pehe
You free like wind in moonlight

Maybe one day we'll cross again
No hate, no shame, just life in chain
E 'aita to'u pe'ape'a
Just love I plant in your arahina

Nana, nana e te here
I don't hold you down, I set you there
Tere i te aahi, 'ori i te pehe
You free like wind in moonlight
