I just found this song and I love it... even if I can’t understand the words. A couple comments have given me a good understanding of this song. Everyone from Cook island are so fortunate to call it home.
My late grand father's name is Tavake from the numanga anau koputangata was born in Tikioki in Titikaveka what got me was where he got that name from was like wow
Same but I hate how people always say aren't you Samoan because of your last name but I'm actually cookisland Tahitian and Hawaiian from my mum and Samoan Tongan and Chinese from my dad
+Marina Holmes Basically talking a bird from Hawaiki, that bird name is Tavake a tropical bird in the Pacific's. It says in translation that the bird traveled from Hawaiki to here though the wide blue ocean via sky and then says it must leave and return to back to ancestors to reserve the growth of it's own. It is figurative speech stating that Southern Cookies come from ancestors Haiwaiki which we do. From Kia Vai Tatau Uatu- Taku Manu Akaperepere It means to be hugged and loved from the ancestors let me know if you wanted the lyrics I gave you the meaning of song. Native Cook Island speaker Aere rai, Kava ngateki Vaine!
Tano rai teia imene no te Solo .. manea tikai te manu rere 'e te Tavake ei .. humaria tikai!! Kia Orana Tatou Katoatoa!!
