All of you children
From the Tuamotu side (islands of the open seas)
Standing high and proud
In front of Tohitika

From the Tuamotu side / From the Tuamotu side
Standing high and proud / Standing high and proud
In front of Tohitika / In front of Tohitika

All of you Fathers / All of you Fathers
Give us raw energy / Give us raw energy
Turn on the fires / Turn on the fires
The ones that make me shine in you / The ones that make me shine in you

Growling strorms, growling winds, growling seas
Tearing skies, tearing clouds, the whole world
Growling strorms, growling winds, growling seas
Tearing skies, tearing clouds, the whole world

From the Tuamotu side / From the Tuamotu side
Standing high and proud / Standing high and proud
In front of Tohitika / In front of Tohitika
