When you listen to a song in a different language so many times that you can pronounce each word perfectly. The lyrics being there makes it so much easier also.
I remember people complaining how Raya looks like Moana, which honestly makes sense because Pacific Islanders and maritime SEAsians seems to be closely related
@@angeloc.7400 Filipinos are not Polynesians but Austronesians just like us Malagasy. My ancestors also traversed the vast sea following the stars just like said in the lyrics. That’s the Austronesian way.
@@lalitar626 Polynesians are Austronesians, Filipinos are the fathers that stayed behind and Polynesians, Melanesians and Micronesians are the sons that ventured pacific to find a place and name for themselves
This song is on my mind almost continuously. My three-year-old grandson just started watching Moana. We play this song over and over and I love it. Bless people with clarity to know THE WAY & know who they are.
This song is a reminder of how beautiful our world is, that not all the times sufferings and pain are all in this world. But the beauty and the gifts that God put in our world and nature..
When I dance to this song, i can feel the presence of ancestors, not my ancestors but I can feel it, the spirits of someone's ancestors dancing with me, guiding me through life
the translation of the samoan parts: We are voyagers Summoned by the gods Of this mighty ocean to come We take up the good challenge Get ready We understand the ways of the sea We look to the stars and other signs To find our way, to find new lands To make our home (Canoes on the move) Oh! Oh! There is land up ahead A bird in flight to take us there Oh! Oh! This beautiful land The place i was looking for We will make our home
That is especially true for the islands here in Micronesia; we are mostly made up of island atolls. Fanaitai that all our ocean cultures live on forever beyond the sinking of our islands
I was 9 went to see moana in cinemas when it released with my parents and sister. We figured we should just watch a random family friendly movie to treat ourselves, till this day im in love with the movie and im 14 now, turning 15 this year. And was the day I finally figured out pacific islanders. Micronesia, Polynesia, Melanesia. Whole of Pasifika existed. Lovely people, lovely culture and way of life. From Nepal 🇳🇵!!🙏🏾
Hey, I'm chamorro. But Moana is and always will be close to my heart. I remember watching it as a kid and appreciating it's existence. Though that doesn't discredit Lilo and Stitch.
I remember when I was younger I did this song for my school choir and we learnt the non- English part aswell, and now I can sing it with nooooo problem
I still really want the Polynesian Islands to uncover all of their history, where they came from, where they travelled. They were some of the earliest explorers, and we have no idea where they came from. It's sad how quite a few Polynesian people are treated, and how they act too. This idea that they're also a warrior people is ridiculous, like, come on guys. Explorers. Not warriors. Both are tough as nails, but it's not the same story as the Maori. That's why I want them to uncover their history, because it feels, just looking at their culture and traditions, that something is missing in them. Something lost and forgotten. Have also come to realise why all people in NZ, be they white, brown or black, have a love for nature and exploration (Sir Edmund Hilary, anyone?). The Maori think the Europeans assimilated them, but really, take a better look. The culture never disappeared, it's still around, and how many British defected to join the tribes, because their way of life was much more fulfilling? They, along with all people from different backgrounds, helped build the NZ culture we have today: A relaxed, nature loving, bunch of idiots that do the craziest shit for fun, like the mini jet boat swing on the bridge recently. We got our love of nature and exploration from the Maori and Polynesian people. And that's what's missing in them, that passion they once had.

November 2022 here, still love it 🤭♥️😊 this song is best ever! ♥️ For me it's perfect I am traveling around the world trying to figure out who am I and where's my place but I always know my way home 😊 I already explained a lot I have a lot of amazing stories to tell this song is beautiful and very meaningful for me ♥️😊
Me and my choir at school were going to sing this song for one of our concerts we lost time and couldn’t so out teacher decided to bring it back and we couldn’t be happier we all sang it during free time and during the summer I’m so excited
One of the Best Disney Animation and one of the Best Song. 💖 Love this Song, We are watching this Everyday 5 times a day. My 2 year old Son Love this allot. 🤣😂🤣
We learned this song in theater and it was my favorite that I preformed. It was super fun Btw we didn’t do the moana musical, we just did random songs from different musicals like hard knock life, naughty, little people, ect
This song is so entrancing and inspiring...moana is Avery invigorating character And I took a liking to her almost instantly...so much I ended up picking her for use in my stories.
Some songs slap. And then some songs SLAP! Don’t give a damn that this is a kid movie, I watch it for the story sure…but the music is just so fire. This is on the level of “Everything is Awesome” from the Lego movie when it comes to catchiness.🔥
Haha me and my 1 yr old son loves this song, we sing this and dance together, singing it with wrong lyrics coz it is so hard to pronounce the words but i feel the spirit!!
I look up this song every once in a while. I don't know why I feel this song so much, I am not even familiar with this culture, but I adore it since I watched 'Moana'
my sis said i would love this movie, and i did! i loved the story and style, the songs were so perfect i almost cried everytime i hear this song tho, its so beautiful:((( i watched this since i was like 6-7 yrs old
Am I the only one who gets slightly disappointed when they switch to English lyrics midway through the song? I think it's way more interesting to listen to a song sung in a different language
Moana: WE WERE VOYAGERS! WE WERE VOYAGERS! Chief Tui: Moana, Will You Forget The Stupid Voyagers! Have you ever noticed that there are none of them left? That's because they hitch-hiked on magic water, ate rocks, and took directions from spirit animals! And now you're telling me they thought they could drive (Moana Sails away) Boats?
When you listen to a song in a different language so many times that you can pronounce each word perfectly. The lyrics being there makes it so much easier also.
"we know who we are" thats deeper than most people realize
That's especially deeper for us Chamorros; the Spanish destroyed almost every bit of our culture
Remember?
Yes people who live in harmony with nature 😍 The way we're supposed to live.
your very right
Only those who don't know who they are.
Explore, discover. Goals, direction, skill, leadership. Procreation. Moving forward. Human. Thanks Maui, for the opportunity. I know the way.
love this song, i’m Filipino but always mistaken as Samoan.. Anyway, Talofa lava to my Samoan friends....
Part of us Filipinos are after all Polynesian
@@angeloc.7400 yup for a long time we’re known as Pacific Islanders.. so yeah🥰☺️

Best song from the movie.
Agreed
It really is
Absolutely 💯
No…
Of course, it's one of my favorite songs) ❤
ok everyone seems to root for Lin but I'm rooting for Opetaia Foa'i, the voice of Matai Vasa - that first verse gives me chills every time!
What I wanna know is why Lin agreed to a song in Samoan, and why it sounds like Hamilton from the musical is singing in this.
man, that first line in Tokelauan before the chorus always sends chills down my back - it's my favorite one! (olo olo vaka!)
I can relate that line also sends chills down my spine but it's not my favorite
@@Masked_knight3😂😂😂
I love the way the Polenesian words sound. 💟🎼🎵🎶
Beginning part: cool, I have no idea what it means, but cool
Second part: Go away, Hamilton, you've got a cabinet battle or smthn
This song is on my mind almost continuously. My three-year-old grandson just started watching Moana. We play this song over and over and I love it.
Bless people with clarity to know THE WAY & know who they are.

Me too. This song has brought me so much wisdom and connection to my soul that I was looking. This movie changed my life.
Same! Btw I'm also a demon slayer fan!
@@qeeonaroy niiiiiice
@@qeeonaroyCool, I love Kimetsu No Yaiba/Demon Slayer as well.
Should've won Oscars Best Original Song and Best Animated Film
But why?
@@TheProtagonist2020 because this movie has so many bangers
Preach
Best song Ever!!
I don't think I've heard a better song.
I am singing this in the Talent show for the school.
Lauren Soest cool!
Tapenapena
The don't understand the Polynesian lyric's of the part of this song.
the translation of the samoan parts:
We are voyagers
Summoned by the gods
Of this mighty ocean to come
We take up the good challenge
Get ready
We understand the ways of the sea
We look to the stars and other signs
To find our way, to find new lands
To make our home
(Canoes on the move)
Oh! Oh!
There is land up ahead
A bird in flight to take us there
Oh! Oh!
This beautiful land
The place i was looking for
We will make our home
This song will hit you hard if you're indigenous
Thank you! English teaching is helped a lot by songs.
I always loved this song. I am not an islander but I trully love the song and the Samoan Culture.
This song is not just Samoan it’s mixed Polynesian languages but we have similar language
It is sad that our islands of the pacific is drowning but our culture lives on 💕🙌
I'm a proud samoan poly 💕
That is especially true for the islands here in Micronesia; we are mostly made up of island atolls. Fanaitai that all our ocean cultures live on forever beyond the sinking of our islands
高原さん簡単じゃ？
what do samoans think of hawaiians
This is my favourite song from the movie! Just love it!
Me aswell

I absolutely love you for knowing the two other regions in Oceania! People usually only know the Polys. Asaina må'åse, che'lu-hu!
Hey, I'm chamorro. But Moana is and always will be close to my heart. I remember watching it as a kid and appreciating it's existence. Though that doesn't discredit Lilo and Stitch.
You can hear Lin in it
That’s why this is my favorite song in the movie. I’m fucking obsessed with Hamilton
I remember when I was younger I did this song for my school choir and we learnt the non- English part aswell, and now I can sing it with nooooo problem
Same! Well, I did it for theater and I still forget some of the first. But if I really think then I remember. I know it just not in the correct order
fr every song ate and left no crumbs! ❤️
I like that song 😍😍
I to speak with Kabagahe Shalom on TH-cam 😘😘
When are speaking with me Kabagahe Shalom 😍😍😍
Wishing you a very happy birthday
Who replied back 😂😂😂
This song reminds me about Samoan island. Even though I'm on another island for now, "There is no place like home."
Best song of moana
We Know The Way!
Love the beat of the drums wow
This movie deserves an Oscar for this song
This song always gets stuck in my head

We read the wind and the sky when the sun is high
We sail the length of the seas on the ocean breeze
At night, we name every star
We know where we are
We know who we are, who we are
Aue, aue
We set a course to find
A brand new island everywhere we roam
Aue, aue
We keep our island in our mind
And when it's time to find home
We know the way
Aue, aue
We are explorers reading every sign
We tell the stories of our elders in a never-ending chain

I really love this song that i repeatedly played this... Wish to perfect the pronunciation though❤️❤️❤️🎶🎶🎶🎶
I add this song to my playlists ❤
I’m obsessed right now and the meaning hits do much harder now that I have more knowledge and a son ❤
This song is so entrancing and inspiring...moana is Avery invigorating character And I took a liking to her almost instantly...so much I ended up picking her for use in my stories.
Im trying to learn how to say the first part, i just love it SO MUCH!! This is litterly the best song
everytime I listen to this I get chills...Amazing!
I love this song so much that I Can't stop listening to it 🥰🥰🥰❤❤❤
Me being Samoan and this being my favourite movie growing up makes this music so nostalgic
I KNEW I RECOGNIZED LINS VOICE LMFAOO I WAS LIKE I SWEAR I KNOW THIS VOICE
OMG- SAME 😭🤚
I play this song when I drive in the night. When I go for long drives exploring and make my home where I will be
If Tiamat were alive :
Maui is Marduk.
Te Fiti is Tiamat.
Chief Tui is Zeus.
Moana is Me.
Chief Tui is Enlil.
Ocean is Apsu.
I may not be Hawaiian but I love the culture and the way things for them are. I wish I was Hawaiian.
the song is samoan + tokelauan btw
Moana was so many magnitudes better than Frozen could ever be. The acting is better and especially the music.
That part at 1:35 though
That part is bootiful
Some songs slap. And then some songs SLAP! Don’t give a damn that this is a kid movie, I watch it for the story sure…but the music is just so fire. This is on the level of “Everything is Awesome” from the Lego movie when it comes to catchiness.🔥
love that song
Who knows how to sing it from the beginning
Owe ee nah
Me Bc I am Tokelaun what they were speaking
@@atownstomp7793 great for this song and movie, i knew something new today~nice for you and your country^^
Me cause I'm African. its easy to grasp it
Me
Nice song I like it.
The only 2010s Disney movie that actually was decent.
[ua ava'e le lu' itau e lelei ] I CAN'T SPELL THAT
I just realized its lin-maunal who plays hamiton which is crazy because Christopher Jackson who plays George Washington is also Moanas dad
I-🤠, What..?
Moana is Me.
Te Kā is Gaea.
Te Fiti is Gaia.
Maui is Ares.
Chief Tui is Zeus.
I like it its my bestfriends fav song He comes here sometimes
The song is so good I only had to hear it once and I knew the lyrics im Hawaiian too❤
Yes
I hear again this song, i got teary eyes always. I dont know but its true, i got goosebumps. Im a Filipino.
This is my 10 time watching this cause I'm gonna present it in my school
me too
It is magical and nostalgical song can remove negative energy.
I’ve memorized this to perfection pronunciation and everything
This the Best song for our brothers the Aietas, Igorots and Moros. Etc.
I am doing this song for my concert and my friend said it has a lovley voice I agree
Heart this song 🤘🏾
I love it❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love this song❤❤❤
Haha me and my 1 yr old son loves this song, we sing this and dance together, singing it with wrong lyrics coz it is so hard to pronounce the words but i feel the spirit!!
This is my favorite song .
I'm sure obsessed with this song ...I downloaded it and made it my ring tone❤🥺
HoW do i do that.
I'm Samoa but I am in new Zealand I wish I can go to Samoa they are Samoa ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love this song😘😘
I look up this song every once in a while. I don't know why I feel this song so much, I am not even familiar with this culture, but I adore it since I watched 'Moana'
my sis said i would love this movie, and i did! i loved the story and style, the songs were so perfect i almost cried everytime i hear this song tho, its so beautiful:((( i watched this since i was like 6-7 yrs old
Why is the song so good tho?
Because it conveys the depth of a heart led warrior and explorer who is connected to the Earth.
Because everyone associated with this song poured their hearts and souls in it :)
I mean it’s fun to sing!
Am I the only one who gets slightly disappointed when they switch to English lyrics midway through the song? I think it's way more interesting to listen to a song sung in a different language
Its still a good song 'til this day
الله علي الذكريات يا قلبي❤️🇱🇾🥺
still listening until 2024, February 8, with a lot of energy
as a polynesian i love this movie smmmm
I'm a Sarawakian Iban from Borneo, I feels like my ancestor were calling me
Moana: WE WERE VOYAGERS! WE WERE VOYAGERS!
Chief Tui: Moana, Will You Forget The Stupid Voyagers! Have you ever noticed that there are none of them left?
That's because they hitch-hiked on magic water, ate rocks, and took directions from spirit animals! And now you're telling me they thought they could drive (Moana Sails away) Boats?
We know who we are
I love it I keep on hearing this
I love this song so much😍😎😇🤐
