Beautiful island, it exists (still here) and always will be here
Wherever I am in the world, I'm always thinking and yearning for you
The beauty of the night, dawn approaches
I am awake, yet I am dreaming
Beautiful and lush flowers planted near my home, that is you, Rarotonga
I left you with sadness and tears in my heart
In the valleys, hills, mountains of Rarotonga
My tears that fall
Our home, land, is you, Rarotonga
Oh, my Rarotonga

Enua manea te vai nei ka vai ra
Manakonako 'anga ia naku i te ao nei
Te iriri o te po maiata e tu mai nei
Mei te moemoea te araua nei e
Marau rupe te tiare tanumia i te pae kainga, Rarotonga e
Taku i akaruke mai te aro'a e te tangi
I roto i te au o, tuaivi, te au maunga, Rarotonga e
Toku roimata e ta'e nei
To taua ngutuare enua
Aue Rarotonga
