I am Moana of Motunui. You will board my boat, sail across the sea, and restore the heart of Te Fiti!
Moana (2016) dir. Ron Clements and Don Hall
And no one knows who far it goes.
Moana of Motunui | Diana of Themyscira
See the line where the sky meets the sea it calls me And no one knows, how far it goes
Moana (2016)
The beginning of We Know The Way is actually in two different languages - the first verse is Samoan while the chorus is Tokelauan, one of the native languages of composer Opetaia Foa‘i. The English verses were built around the Samoan and Tokelauan lines, which roughly translate to:
We are voyagers called by the great god of the sea, Who puts up a challenge. We take up the good challenge, So get ready. Oh, oh! There is land up ahead. A bird in flight to take us there, Oh, oh! This beautiful land, The place I was looking for, we will make our home.
I love this song and this part of Moana, thank you so much for the translation and explanation!
I am Moana of Motunui. Aboard my boat, I will sail across the sea, and restore the heart of Te Fiti.
Sometimes the world seems against you. The journey may leave a scar. But scars can heal and reveal just where you are.
If you start singing, I’m gonna throw up.
If you start singing, I’m gonna throw up.
I am Moana of Motunui. You will board my boat, sail across the sea and restore the heart of Te Fiti.
