Tuakana Lyrics

Na te paepae akau
Teretere te Tagutukao
E ua kite au ki te tikahaga tara
E na muri atu vau

Na te paepae toau
Tika ai mateu Uakite
E ua taga e mateu
Ki to koe tikahaga ki Tevahikite

E Tuakana noku e
E Tuakana
E Tuakana Noku e
E Tuakana

Na te paepae toau
Teretere te Tagutukao
E ua kite au ki te tikahaga tara
E na muri atu vau

Na te paepae akau
Tikahaga mateu e ua goe
E ua taha mateu
Ki to koe tikahaga ki Tevahikite

E Tuakana noku e
E tuakana
E Tuakana noku e
E tuakana

E tika tu mateu e
E tika tu mateu e

E Tuakana noku e
E Tuakana
ETuakana noku e
E Tuakana


BROTHER

On the border of the reef
Come and go, the "Tagutukao" (shark from the open sea)
And I see the dorsal fin standing
And I follow

On the side of the shore
We stand, knowing...
We understand why...
You are arising as "Tevahikite" (name of a star)

A Brother for me
A Brother
A Brother for me
A Brother

On the sides of the seas
Come and go, the "Tagutukao" (shark from the open sea)
And I see the dorsal fin standing
And I follow

On the sides of the reef
We stand, as tides are low
We understand why...
You are arising as "Tevahikite" (name of a star)

A Brother for me
A Brother
A Brother for me
A Brother

We will arise
We will arise

A Brother for me
A Brother
A Brother for me
A Brother
