Ai tei vovo, tei vovo
E ya, e ya, e ya, e ya;
Tei vovo, tei vovo
E ya, e ya, e ya, e ya
Rai tu mai, rai tu mai
Oi au a virviri kemu bai
Rai tu mai, rai ti mai
Oi au a virviri kemu bai
Toa yalewa, toa yalewa
Veico, veico, veico
Au tabu moce koi au
Au moce ga ki domo ni biau
E luvu koto ki ra nomu waqa
O kaya beka au sa luvu sara
Nomu bai e wawa mere
Au tokia ga ka tasere |
Make ready, make ready
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh;
Make ready, make ready
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Look hither, look hither
I build a breastwork for you,
Look hither, look hither
I build a breastwork for you
A cock and a hen,
They attack, attack, attack
It is tabu for me to slumber
Except to the sound of breakers
Your ship is sunk below
Don't think I'm drowned too.
Your defence is just waiting
To crumble when I prick it. |
