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
