“We tell the stories of our elders in a never ending chain,” Pre-colonial Philippines loved to tell stories and would often pass it down to their children and grandkids through words and not written. I know Philippines has probably a small portion of being Polynesian but that part gave me goosebumps
Philippines is actually part of the austronesians, and polynesians came from the same line. so technically, we were once voyagers too, as described in the austronesian migration theory and in our history books of how our ancestors came to be.
@i can't think of a name Scientific research has confirmed that many of the livestock that the Polynesians brought with them had their origins in the Philippines. Also all the peoples from Madagascar, Maritime Southeast Asia and Polynesia are constantly to be Austronesian. I don't its a coincidence that some Filipino customs such as the tattoo art of the Pintados bear a great resemblance to Polynesian tattoos.
I think it's amazing how disney and pixar's movies are making people proud of their cultures. I am proud of my scandinavian heritage, and have been thrilled with the success of How to Train Your Dragon. The fierceness and pride of the vikings and the harshness of their world really reflected in the tone of the movie. I know I am priveledged in that my cultural heritage is more 'mainstream', It makes me so happy to see other people having the chance to experience the same pride and joy.
Sarah Morales I guess it's the old nature rule, the strong will survive. When it comes to cultures it seems like that as well. But keep in mind that for example the Polynesian people had their roots in Taiwan and Asia. So who knows how their culture was before they decided to set sail? How was the culture of us Germanic people before we had the same idea? We evolve and adapt since the beginning of humanity. So don't feel bad for being too cultural mainstream. In the end, we are all on our own voyage called life. We all have to set sail and face our destiny✌
thank you for this, every time I hear the original I'm left wanting just slightly more and your version is just the right length to satisfy that feeling.
Is it weird that this makes me want to cry?? Lol i think i'm still just so glad Disney finally made a movie about our Poly people and culture and did such a GREAT job at it ❤️
While this version is excellent, and I really really wish the entire song had been in Tokelauen, the way it was cut for the movie was perfect. The cast on screen stopped singing when the song switched to English to show that this culture is so far removed from the audience that they literally don't speak english. It was really well done!
So for those who want them, here are the lyrics! (Couldn't find original comment with them) Aue, aue Nuku i mua Te manulele e tataki e Aue, aue te fenua, te malie Nae ko hakilia mo kaiga e . Tatou o tagata folau e vala'auina E le atua o le sami tele, e o mai Ia ava'e le lu'itau e lelei Tapenapena (o lo o lo hāka) We read the wind and the sky When the sun is high We sail the length of sea 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 row Aue, aue We keep our island in our mind And when it's time to find home We know the way Aue, aue Nuku i mua Te manulele e tataki e Aue, aue te fenua, te malie Nae ko hakilia mo kaiga e Aue, aue we are explorers reading every sign we tell the stories of our elders in the never ending chain Aue, aue Te fenua, te mālie Nā heko hakilia We know the way Aue, aue we are explorers reading every sign we tell the stories of our elders in the never ending chain Aue, aue Te fenua, te mālie Nā heko hakilia We know the way We read the wind and the sky When the sun is high We sail the length of 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 row 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 the never ending chain Aue, aue Te fenua, te mālie Nā heko hakilia We know the way
My family comes from Maui but I am the first Generation born away from Maui and my kids don't understand the importance of our heritage and are mad because I made them learn Tokelauan. I made them watch this movie and explained everything about it and in the end, they were more appreciative of their culture. Thank you, Disney!
Wow, i love this song. I love the feeling of freedom it gives me. To even begin to imagine the lives of those great voyager's on the open sea, nothing between them and the horizon. This culture is incredible and deserving of all the attention this movie brings it. As a human i am proud just to call such incredible people brothers and sisters.
I am an island boy. My heart an is always with my mother island. this music is a great reminder for anyone that finds themselves faraway from home, you can always find your way back.
Origins: SAMOA meaning 'sacred heart' or 'sacred center' (Tagata mao'i) --> TAHITI (Ta'ata maohi) --> HAWAI'I (Kanaka Maoli) --> Aotearoa/New Zealand (tangata maori) It's a chain. We literally are one people and it makes me so proud to be Polynesian. Despite all the stupid trivial arguments and disputes between us Polynesians we are all one and the same people. I look at NATIVE Hawaiians, Tongans, Tahitians, Niueans, Tokelauans, Maori's, Cook Islanders and Tuvaluans and see my literal blood brothers and sisters! I am so proud of our heritage and thank Disney for creating a movie that displayed our culture in such a beautiful way!
Thank you so much for the acknowledgment of unity within this awesome single. I agree...why should there be petty arguments over heritage among nations when we are all humankind bretheren? You have my admiration and respect, brother. I was born from the shores of Lisbon Portugal and I am happy to find a family member over the seas. Peace and cheers to you.
When I was listening to the Apollo missions as a child, I was thinking of future space missions as if they were Polynesians when they faced the ocean. This must be the spirit. To boldly go ... beyond the rift!
This version is so much stronger and the way it starts with he “away awayyy” catches you straight away and it’s happier in a way... I love Moana but I have to say this version truly better... please like this comment!
***** Ancestors are from Africa. Probably 100% African- Nigerian to be exact though i've never been to Africa let alone Nigeria. My mum's from the Igbo tribe in the south east of the country and my dad's Yoruba from the south west. There were some advanced civilizations in or around Nigeria such as the Nok civilization, the Benin Empire, Kingdom of Shonghai, etc. Interesting but not as much as Polynesian culture.
So awesome to see people around the world take interest in our culture. Much love to all! A few similarities I noticed is we have our own native languages, the traditional music and dancing sounds and looks a little like the same, and the obvious similarity is our dark colored skin and being disadvantaged minorities in western colonized countries. That's just my opinion.
To be honest this version is actually way nicer, and I’m a Moana fan... and I don’t want to say this, but this version has something more comforting and solid about it. And of course, obviously the fact that it’s longer is the reason this extension was done, and I think it’s literally amazing, because whenever I listen to the original version I always want more and this version has that part that I always want. Thanks for the version! You: *singing* your welcome!
This song creates such powerful emotions which wash over me; the idea of generations of voyagers passing on their secrets to their fellows as they search new horizons. It's so beautiful. "We tell the stories of our elders in a never-ending chain."
Wayfinders! :) I took a course in college about ancient astronomy. They're truly remarkable. If you're interested, do look them up. There are less of them than ever today, and they need support to pass the art on to more people so it doesn't die out.
It's the stars man, before charting and map-making became widespread, all the exploration cultures used the stars to traverse the sea. The stars dont change. Well, they do, but so slowly that the difference across millenia is neglible. My own ancestors left records of their own explorations behind the same way.
@@sexyydiva1234 it's easy to understand us, we are all the same, just different now because of the barriers that we built between our islands by other people (colonizers). But we're pretty chill
It took the Polynesians thousands of years. Humans have been in space for maybe 60 years, plus it’s a little bit harder to survive in a spaceship than in a boat. Give it some time!
if you think about it, this movie is great for everyone the Polynesians get their culture on the big screen on a Disney movie and everyone else gets lin because hamilton and in the heights are aMazIng
Bro I just was listening and then I was like “hm the guy singing sounds really familiar” and when I figured out it was Lin Manuel Miranda I will never hear it the same 💀
As a Pacific Islander, this song holds so true in my heart, for my people (Chamorros from Guam in the Marianas) were masters of the sea (until the Spanish came), and came from afar before settling in the Marianas.
if I ever get a chance to watch movie on cinema hall again, I’d go with moana over and over again, I cant describe the soul-raising that this movie had raised me
Tatou o tagata folau e vala’auina E le atua o le sami tele e o mai Ia ava’e le lu’itau e lelei Tapenapena Aue, aue Nuku i mua Te manulele e tataki e Aue, aue Te fenua, te mālie Nae ko hakilia mo kaiga e [Lin-Manuel Miranda:] 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 Aue, aue Te fenua, te mālie Nā heko hakilia We know the way
Listening to this makes me proud that me and my family still follow the indigenous religion/culture of our ancestors and didn't convert to a middle eastern Abrahamic faith.
After listening to this song daily for the last 6months...it has really grown on me. Love this version. My little boy will be dancing around the front room :)
“We tell the stories of our elders in a never ending chain,”
Pre-colonial Philippines loved to tell stories and would often pass it down to their children and grandkids through words and not written. I know Philippines has probably a small portion of being Polynesian but that part gave me goosebumps
Our culture is quite diverse if only we manage to keep most of our culture :(
Philippines is actually part of the austronesians, and polynesians came from the same line. so technically, we were once voyagers too, as described in the austronesian migration theory and in our history books of how our ancestors came to be.
Being a Filipino, I just learned this info just now 😀
@i can't think of a name Scientific research has confirmed that many of the livestock that the Polynesians brought with them had their origins in the Philippines. Also all the peoples from Madagascar, Maritime Southeast Asia and Polynesia are constantly to be Austronesian. I don't its a coincidence that some Filipino customs such as the tattoo art of the Pintados bear a great resemblance to Polynesian tattoos.
Every non-writing culture did that bro, the greeks memorised the entire iliad to pass it down through words
This is the version I wanted
Whoever made this nailed it. thank you
I wanted it to
love this song.
Me too,to listen while studying😉
I love 💗 this song!
It’s Beautiful!!!!

...httyd is dreamworks which isnt disney
It's a occupational hazard.
Disney in 2020: NAAA FUCK THAT
thank you for this, every time I hear the original I'm left wanting just slightly more and your version is just the right length to satisfy that feeling.
TheHurtThatDontLeave Me too. happy I found this version.
TheHurtThatDontLeave
I agree. This is a superbly made. Thanks Levente Géczy!
*pretty sure this amazing!!!!!
*+TheHurtThatDontLeave* THAT's RIGHT!! You speak the truth, buddy! :D
strangely, the non English parts are the parts I remember most.
I know, right?
Same
Omg same 😂😂
SAME
Same lol I literally learned the lyrics to to the Polynesian but English.... nah.... I can understand English xD
Is it weird that this makes me want to cry?? Lol i think i'm still just so glad Disney finally made a movie about our Poly people and culture and did such a GREAT job at it ❤️
Vallen C same here. I left the islands over 20 years ago, and I felt so much pride to be Polynesian when hearing this.
i wanna cry too i'm not poly but it's so moving
I'm not polynesian but I feel the same way, it's such a beautiful song!!!
If you put a Polynesian on rollerskates, are they considered a 'Roly-Poly'? I giggled at this. I am sorry.
I cried when she was talking to her grandmother's spirit, it made me miss my grandma
While this version is excellent, and I really really wish the entire song had been in Tokelauen, the way it was cut for the movie was perfect.

TheKoolaidman371 b-but it’s lin Manuel Miranda
No yeah it is, but still, this whole song in Tokelauen would’ve been awesome.
ua-cam.com/video/1yn9mKqDuHM/v-deo.html
True it was the best song in the movie
Sideways much?
When you re-realize the soundtrack was Lin-Manuel's work
There is nothing he can't do. No one can convince me otherwise. I hope I can be like him one day.:)
He is even singing
Ok
@Nadia yes you are right there are to many Hamilton stans thinking this
So for those who want them, here are the lyrics! (Couldn't find original comment with them)
Aue, aue

We read the wind and the sky
When the sun is high
We sail the length of sea
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 row
Aue, aue
We keep our island in our mind
And when it's time to find home
We know the way
Aue, aue

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 row
Aue, aue
We keep our island in our mind
And when it's time to find home

Aue, aue
we are explorers reading every sign
we tell the stories of our elders
in the never ending chain
Aue, aue
Te fenua, te mālie
Nā heko hakilia
We know the way
Thank you so much much for this comment. I was actually trying to find the original comment. I appreciate you re commenting the lyrics.
Thanks
Yeah
*the feels!* it's so stronger than the other Moana songs! ❤
Absolutely!!
My family comes from Maui but I am the first Generation born away from Maui and my kids don't understand the importance of our heritage and are mad because I made them learn Tokelauan.

+Jeremy Winborne Amen to that
I love that every different part of the song has different pitches, as if its one generation to the next
Hamilton is on the boat
lol he's headed to the mainland where he can be a new man
Wrong boat Alexander
😆😆😆 so true
The Polynesian culture is so beautiful and their music sounds strong. I adore the Polynesian people.
When your *DNA* says; you have a _0.5%_ *Polynesian.*
Wow that's alot
This sounds great! The transitions are practically seamless. Nice job!
And the overlapping parts sound really cool
Thank you so much! :)
Ohh, and happy new year!
+Levente Géczy I love this video!
wait a minute! you mean to tell ME! This isn't the official extended version, and it's actually fan made? LIKE WOAH!!! THIS IS AMAAIIIZZIIING!!!!!!
Unfortunately those aren't translations. The part in the Polynesian languages are completely different.
I just realized why I like Lin-Manuel so much, he sounds a lot like Phil Collens
DUDE! RIGHT?!?!
i meant Phil Collins oops
I thought so, too! Glad I'm not the only one.
what ever happened to him? hes a good singer then one day he just disappeared
I thought the same
We tell the stories of our elders in the neverending chain
Watziterinhetcadeautje My favorite part, gives me goosebumps every time.

Who knows, perhaps one day, someone will go further to explore and share the history and culture you are so proud of :)
In Maluku Islands we say “Tamata molo'uku” means Moluccan (People of Maluku Islands)
The Heart is a compass
When I was listening to the Apollo missions as a child, I was thinking of future space missions as if they were Polynesians when they faced the ocean. This must be the spirit. To boldly go ... beyond the rift!
That’s what I think of when I watch this scene. It’s the human spirit to explore and expand. We did it on earth and are starting to do it in space.
This is too perfect for words. Much better than the original and completely satisfies that missing feeling in the original :DDDD
This version is so much stronger and the way it starts with he “away awayyy” catches you straight away and it’s happier in a way... I love Moana but I have to say this version truly better... please like this comment!

proud to be an african that shares similar culture to the polynesians.

D- Upz well come to think of it, i can actually picture Africans singing this song.
We had Moana in our theatre class last 2018. Should've found this earlier, this version is much better.

This song makes me wish I was Polynesian
S we are all explorers
The whole movie makes me feel like this :/ I wish I could know the Polynesia, my biggest dream
@@rustypliers74 I'm full blood

All the singers are amazing, but Lin's voice makes me want to cry. He sounds so angelic.

thats what i thought when i heard this lmao
M Y. B R U D A H
W E K N O W D E W A E!!!
I don't, but all my Polynesian ghost homies do.
Yep, this is the WAE
literally sing my heart out to this, and being that it is in my language, i'm more obsessed with it!! AMAZING!
Oh this is perfect! I think it's my favorite song in the movie!
i think it is my favourite song
Timberwolf410 same !
mine too! It puts me in such a good mood!
too bad its too damn short in its original
It’s so lovely.
Moana is my favorite Disney Princess.
best disney song ever composed and performed. lyrically and meaningfully. Wonderful stuff, really.
If we approached Mars and the inner system like the the Polynesians approached the Pacific…….......
then we would have the start of a proper Interstellar civilization because we wouldn't stop at just the local planets, we would want to explore more.
We must go EVEN FURTHER BEYOND
BEYOND THE RIFT!
No-one goes into the black!
(Teenager goes into the black)
Now we've got Reavers...
wel in terms of tech , we simply still on a log on water,,maybe now 2 logs tied
It took the Polynesians thousands of years. Humans have been in space for maybe 60 years, plus it’s a little bit harder to survive in a spaceship than in a boat. Give it some time!
Is it good that version of the song is now my new favorite song.
Thank you :)
FIIINAAALLLYYYY!! 😩😪 wheww* i was getting tired of the 2 minute version lmao'
anet 96 me too
hi how are you
anet z
I had to sing the 2 minute for my schools concert. I wish we sang the extended version.
There's a 6 minute version too!
ua-cam.com/video/IOgM-0Db8Yo/v-deo.html
When we go to the stars we have to sing this song
when i hear it im happy it gives a happy vibe
A million thank yous to you, sir/ma'am. I wish more people had your editing skills, you did a marvelous job!! I daresay it was perfect, even! 😭🙌💖💖💖
this makes me want to create a raft, put it on the ocean and sit indian style, heading somewhere
I feel the same way!
This song is just absolutely breath taking. Disney did beyond a fantastic job with this movie. It's my favorite one now XD I love it!
*me trying to sing the first part*
The demon I summoned: 👁👄👁
Lol
This is the best version i probably heard.... WOW!
Just the bit more everyone needed. This extended version is so satisfying
if you think about it, this movie is great for everyone
the Polynesians get their culture on the big screen on a Disney movie and everyone else gets lin because hamilton and in the heights are aMazIng
dude this is my #1 song from Moana "your welcome" is 2nd
Bro I just was listening and then I was like “hm the guy singing sounds really familiar” and when I figured out it was Lin Manuel Miranda I will never hear it the same 💀
this song gives me goosebumps and makes me want to sail the sea!
Who still watches this banger😂
Still watching this banger 🗣️🔥
As a Pacific Islander, this song holds so true in my heart, for my people (Chamorros from Guam in the Marianas) were masters of the sea (until the Spanish came), and came from afar before settling in the Marianas.
My most favorite part of this movie!!!
Next time I visit the ocean, I will BLAST my radio to this song!
if I ever get a chance to watch movie on cinema hall again, I’d go with moana over and over again, I cant describe the soul-raising that this movie had raised me
The parts that made me cry were this scene, because of how uplifting it was, and when her grandma died, because it was so sad and spiritual.
How is this song not nominated in the oscar?? best song in Moana!
Lin already got all the Tonys, they were scared what would happen if they let him get an Oscar. He's too powerful!
"We know who we are, who we are"
This will be the theme we all should hear when the Coronavirus pandemic is finally over.
I like this song for it's inspirational ways of looking at culture.
Polynesians... What a wonderful civilization... And such a great Movie!!! 🔝
Absolutely sublime editing. Helped me fall back in love with the Polynesian language family
Why do I imagine Hamilton singing this as he take a ship to New York to be a new man 😂
I work in a daycare center. Our preschool kids love Moana and this is one of their favorite songs.
Thank you so much to whoever made this! The way the pitch rises was seamless that by the end it left me breathless and in tears. KUDOS!
Damn the knuckles meme. Now I can't take this sing seriously.
Now in 2023 many people say that disney/pixar movies are bad but the best ones are Moana, Lion king and Jungle story. i love this song so much!
when i hear this song it gives me goosebumps knowing i have indian heritage. Thanks

can't get this song out of my head! must make into ringtone!! DAMNIT DISNEY!!!!
Thanks for doing God's work and making this song the right length. The original was just too short.
There is nothing that Lin can’t do! He’s amazing
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL LANGUAGE!!!:) LOVED THIS MOVIE! :)
I enjoyed this edit much more than I thought I would I appreciate that you did the key change for the last two parts!!
I love this and I pray to get to Hawaii one day, God willing Amen!♡
Anybody feel like sailing through the ocean
with this song yes.
Yes
I volunteer to come with you. :)
I keep saying this needs to be longer and here it is. Thanks
Happy I found this extended version I really love the song but I always thought it was too short
I could listen to this all day and still feel awesome. By far the coolest song from Disney to date besides Try Everything from Zootopia.
Dayum those semi-tone jumps gave me earjizz. Thanks OP! Awesome work there!
Not semi tones, but normal tones modulating to a new key. Semi-tones is not used in most western music and especially not here
This song needs 1h version!
Listening to this, while thinking on the people in Polynesia suffering from the current events. Let's hope most of them are fine.
