For those who wonder, the song is Tahitian. Here are the lyrics and translation in English. I lack some knowledge for translation, so if someone is willing to fill the blanks, I’ll modify my comment
Te oto’oto nei
(They sing)
Te manu o te ra’i
(The birds in the sky)
Pehepehe no oe
(A song for you)
E te tama to’u fenua
(The child of my fenua - land)
Ua riro ho’i oe
(You are like)
Mai te ho’e feti’a
(A star)
No te ra’i e
(In the sky)
Turamarama to’u orara’a
(Who lights my life)
O oe ta’u mihira’a
(You are the one I’m longing for)
Ta’u ferurira’a
(The one I think of)
I te mau mahana ato’a
(Every day)
O oe te niu o te orara’a
(You are the foundations of the life)
Te papa ia vai nei
(... not sure of the meaning)
I roto i to’u nei mafatu
(Inside my heart)
Aue te oa’oa
(.... not sure of the translation, but oa’oa means happiness / happy)
Ia oe e te tama
(To you the child)
Te tama maohi
(The child maohi - basically the Polynesian/Tahitian child)
Such a beautiful song
❤Mil Gracias por cimpartir❤ es un himno ❤
Been looking for this song. Thank you.
The triumph of Femininity and Beauty ! Beautiful dancers. Congratulations !
Although this is just a practice run.... I love the way the girl in front w/the red shirt REALLY tells the story. Love it. Good job girls.
It's just a pity because the orange one is always late compared to the other girls. It's a bit disturbing. :/ But good job though !
No, she is not. If she is, "always late and disturbing", then how does that get to be a good job?
Love this dance. Beautiful
This is my favorite video - love the song and dance - play it so I don't lose my Polynesian islander culture
Totally! You can tell who practices 🤙
So beautiful! I’m learning this dance right now and it’s harder than it looks!🥵
