Translation of the song Ka ʻIke Naʻau [Know who you are] artist Moana (OST)
Ka ʻIke Naʻau [Know who you are]
The knowledge from the gut
E ‘ae ka hele mai.
Let her come to me.
(Ou mata e matagi)
(Your eyes so full of wonder)
Aleale ‘aki li’a ‘oe
I passionately wish to heal your wounds
(Ou loto mamaina toa)
(Your heart an innocent warrior)
‘Ike ā ‘oe
I know you
(Manatu atu)
(My dearest one)
Ua kā’ili ia kou mauli
He has stolen your heart
(Taku pelepele)
(There’s a task for you)
Mau nō na’e ‘o ‘oe
But you still persevere
(Manatunatu)
(And your deep thoughts)
A’ole he i nō ‘oe
This is not who you are
‘Ike ‘oe i kou na’au!
You know your inner heart
Kou na’au i’o no.
Your true innermost heart.
