Next up, an animated performance from the first film I took my eldest daughter to see at the cinema on her third birthday. It has some stunning visuals and interesting translations.

An Innocent Warrior
(Written by Opetaia Foa'i)
POLYNESIAN
(Tuvaluan, Tokelauan, Samoan mix)
Ou mata e matagi
Ou loto mamaina toa
Manatu atu
Taku pelepele
Pa mai to mafanafanaga
Saolotoga tenei
Manatunatu
Ki tamafine
Pa mai to malamalama
Taimi totoe ko he lava
Maua ai te lumanai
O te atunuku
ENGLISH
Your eyes so full of wonder
Your heart an innocent warrior
There’s a task for you
Our dearest one
Let it flow over you
This freedom you feel
And your deep thoughts
Our young girl
You'll come to understand
There's not much time left
To save the future
Of all our islands
