Aloha,

I'm looking for the english translation of the song Ia Orana- (a Tahitian Aparima)

Ia Orana, Ia Orana, Ia Orana E
Te vahine tahiti
awe, awe, te nehe nehe
te vahine tahiti
tiare, tiare, tiare,
moorea e
awe, awe, te noa noa
te tiare moorea
to fare niau e
I bora bora nui e
a here iau ia oe
bora bora e
na te moana e
ua reva tau
tama iti e
a here iau ia oe
tau tama iti e

If anyone has this knowlegde I would greatly appreciate the interpretation.

Mahalo,
Natasha

Tahiti Tahiti

1)Iaorana, Iaorana Iaorana e

Aue aue   te nehenehe
te Vahine Tahiti
      beautiful lady of Tahiti

2)Tiare, tiare, tiare E Moorea    E
Tiare flower   of Moorea
   
Aue aue te noa noa te tiare Moorea
      Fragrant flower of Moorea


3)To fare ni aue E Bora bora nui e
to my house   in great Borabora
   
Ua here I au ia oe Bora bora e
   that I love in Borabora


4)Na temoana e   ua reva ta' u tana iti e
from the ocean one day I will return to you
   
Aue te Arofa e ta'u tana iti e

After doing much research I found this song posted back on a forum in 2006. The song is called Tahiti Tahiti (not Ia orana)
