THE CANOE PAPA E LYRICS
A song for my father
In search of a better way of life, Ope's father left the small island of Fakaofo in Tokelau This song is about the feelings, emotions and sadness he experienced as he watched the coconut palms and shoreline disappear as he sailed away from Tokelau for the first time.
Hihiki mai i faifaiga o te fenua
E he puli au ite olaga masani
He mafai fakapuli ite loto
Ite loto o papa e
Aue ite nuku o papa e
Chorus
Aue aue papa e / Aue papa e
Aue aue papa e / I te nuku o papa e
Oku mokomokoga ke toe fanatu
I mea na e masani ai
Ko kata lava e mua mai
Te kata o papa e
Aue i te nuku o papa e
