    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)

    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 !

    • @bewildered6866
      @bewildered6866 7 років тому +1

      No, she is not. If she is, "always late and disturbing", then how does that get to be a good job?

We hope that this video inspired you to study the art of the dance and culture in all levels. We wish you a safe and fun summer! (for those of you who left a negative comment...... WE PRAY FOR YOU!)
