Chorus:
Fa'alogo I galuega
Mana'o mai (Ia)
Mana'o mai (Ooheke)
Io io, ioa (Aueke, kimua ia)
Te atea, te atea
Heke heke toku vaka (Heke)
Te atea, te atea (Fano)
Matagofie (Eh te atea, te atea)
Matagofie (Eh te atea)
Moana: Sailing from the horizon
Back to our home, our island
Coming into our view beneath the morning sky (Chorus: Oh, we're back!)
From new shores we've been exploring
Returning to tell our story
Connected with both the land and sea
(Aue, aue)
Finally, we're back
To who we're meant to be
(Chorus: Te atea, te atea)
Who I'm meant to be
(Te atea, te atea)
Voyaging the sea
Villagers: We're back!
Sina and Chief Tui: The village is lush and thriving
Villager Kids: Weaving new kites for flying
Sina and Chief Tui: Building new homes and families Our people just keep expanding
Chief Tui: Let's pull the roof…
Villagers: Higher
Kele: I can't wait 'til I retire
Sina: The ancestors would be proud
What once was lost has been found
Everyone: Finally, we're back to who we're meant to be
Villagers Who we’re meant to be
Who we’re meant to be
Kele: Do you have to sing?
Villagers: Yes, we have to sing
Moni: Hey, kids!
Gather 'round if you wanna hear about
The greatest wayfinder of all time
A living legend and she's besties with a demigod
Like, super besties.
Together, they saved our land
And then, like, totally set us free
What's next? We'll see
How much better could it be?
Unless Maui was also friends with me.
Kid Villager 1: Yeah, right.
Kid Villager 2: Look! She's coming!
Moni Welcome, our brave Moana
Villager Kids: I wonder what she's brought us?
Loto: The new canoe needs inspecting
There's always something to fix onboard
Villagers:
The village believes in her (That's right!)
The villages believes
Chief Tui: I made it past the reef!
Race the Chief to shore?
Moana: Aw, Dad, it's never much of a race.
Villagers:Te atea, te atea
The life is back in the water
Hey
Our people have come out stronger
Hey
Tui: The voyaging past we honor
Thanks to our daughter
Oh, hey!
Moana: Sailing from the horizon
Can't wait to reach my island
The home I've being missing
And the life I'm meant to lead
Villagers: We're back!
Moana - she points us to the
Future of Motunui
Moana/Townspeople: Connected with both the land and sea
Moana: Oh finally we're back
To who we're meant to be
Villagers: Te atea, te atea
Moana: Of the land and sea
Everyone: Finally, we're back
To who we're meant to be
Who we're meant to be
Who we're meant to be
