Translation to:ensv

Nukukehe

Au na fofou fia kikila kia koeTaku atu ai kina tino umaKo au na fafia mimita lahiOna fai e au na pehe mo koe

Teki au fakalogo kua sui tou olagaTiga e lahi na mea faigataKae taumafai lava ke taunukuTaunuku te malaga fetaui ai taua

Tele tele kehe keheTele keheTe lagona halamoNa lagona halamo

Kua kehe mea

Te fanoanoa i te pa atuga ki naHo ve kua fai toku tuai atuKua teka atu na aso leleiNa iei aganuku naAganuku lava moni

Kehe mai te olagaTe olaga ona mea fouTaofi ai na galuega leleiLiliu kina uiga faigofie

Tatau na hakili he aualaFakamimita uma ki tatouFakamakeke talia tali leleiTeki kua tuai atu

O te nuku atunukuna fia taunuku ai te malagaTe malaga kua leva na fia tau.

A Different Land

I dreamt of meeting youAnd proceeded to tell everyone about youI was so proudI even wrote songs about you

I hesitated when I heard you’d changedBut still braved the elements to see youThe journey itself an adventureAn introduction leading me to you

Many many differences differencesMany differencesOvercome with sadnessI was overcome with sadness

Things have changed

I was saddened to have finally met youAs I came a little too lateYour prime was long agoWhen there was real pride in you

This is a different place nowSpoiled by things that are newPeople no longer tending the landBut opting to take the easy way out

We need to find a wayTo make us all proud againWe need to be strongIn making the right choice1Before it’s far too late

This land, this landI’ve always wanted to go to.A long-awaited journey I needed to make.
