I traveled a long way far over the sea
And for a while I could see
My mother and daddy I cherish so dear
And I've got to go for another year
Goodbye, nana, goodbye, nana
Goodbye, my family, goodbye
Don't cry mother, don't cry father
We'll soon again be together
One month has passed since I came in our isle
And I see tears in your eyes
It's life, mother, I'll soon be with my brother
Far away from the tiare flower
The bound between us, daddy, mommy,
My dear brother and me
It's harder than iron, it's the power of love
The mightiest thing here or above
I had a great time but I have to go
Far away from our tahitian home
Please don't be sad for we'll keep in touch
And I love you very much
