Lyrics

Official Text in TahitianTranslation

’Ua rahu te atua i tō’u ’āi’a
Hono no’ano’a o te motu rau
Heihei i te pua ri’i au ē
E firi nape mōrohi ’ore
'O tā’u īa e fa’ateniteni nei
Tē tūoro nei te reo here
O te huia
’A hi’i i tō aroha
’Ia ora ’o Tahiti Nui ē

God created my homeland
Fragrant garland laid across the many islands
Ode to the little flowers we love
It's a never-fading wreath of sennit
That I celebrate today
Listen to your children's voices
Calling us to cherish the beloved
Long live Tahiti Nui !
