Haoloto
Te hakiliiga o te haoloto
e mafai koe ke nofonofo
tokatahi te auala
taua mo tatou olaga
Fehiliiga o te mafaufau
pe mafai ke mau he tautahi
tatou he vaega
kaiga o te lalolagi
E toe foki mai
na gali na fai e koe
e toe foki mai
agahala na gaoioi
fakatu aloha
te agaga haoloto tena
tu mai ke hahaka ki ei
Tu mai hihiva mai pepehe malie
matagi te agaga te mimita
te hihiva o te haoloto
Tu mai pepehe mai hihiva malie
matagi te agaga te mimita te
hihiva o te haoloto
Free
The search for freedom
From where you are
There is one way
Most valued by us all
There’s much Soul searching
Though we try to go to it alone
We all belong
To a bigger family
Of the world
It will return
All the good that you do
It will return
All the bad that you do
Stand with love
That’s where real freedom is
Stand up and move
Stand up to dance and sing
The warm winds comforting
Dance freely with pride
That’s the feeling
When you are free
