'Uluaki 'o e fepaki
Ko e tau 'a Natula
Pea faka'apa'apa

Ka ne tokoni 'a langi
'One to e fekaua
Pea Tokelau 'a e matangi
Pea ma tau fonua

Ne ma foki mai pe ue
'Oku te'eki tui homa sisi
Ne mate ono e ta'u

Neu sila pea mo e pole

Ne ma foki mai pe, ue
'Oku te'eki tui homa sisi
Ne mate ono e ta'u

Neu sila pea mo e pole
pea nau to e fakafisi

Island Songs

I don’t matter what state I am in
I just need, to hear them sing
Days turn into years I’ve been away
Still sounds as fresh, as yesterday

Those island songs, they bring me home
On a raft of rolling melody and poem
May not quite get, the words they said
But understanding isn’t only with the head

On the opposite side of the globe
I’m listening
It gives me hope
Hope that I will one day reconnect
But until then
I won’t forget

Those island songs, they bring me home
On a raft of rolling melody and poem
May not quite get, the words they said
But understanding isn’t only with the head

See Nuku’alofa and the kingdom of Tonga
Couldn’t be further from me you see
Cause I’m in Europa
And though I am so far
From my very first home
When I fell alone
Only have to hear them harmonise
And close my eyes
(Just close my eyes, and hear…)

Those island songs, they bring me home
On a raft of rolling melody and poem
May not quite get, the words they said
But understanding isn’t only with the head
