Hi Lavender! Are you looking for word for word translation (for choreography) or poetic translation for understanding the meaning?

Pahoho is the name of the sound that the waves make as they crash together at Te Avarua (Raiatea, Tahiti). The song references the beautiful landmarks and aspects of Tahiti's most sacred island.

Email me, I'll see what I can do to help!

The mooing waves in the reef pass of Avarua
Announce that my great king has arrived
Holding tightly in his hands an Apetahi flower
A splendid flower
Emblem of the country that I love

Uturoa's bay winks its beautiful eyes
Matotea is rising majestically
Tepua's plain goes all the way to the reef
Where the waves break

The south wind is rising
The wind of my country
The wind of my people
Tepua's plain goes all the way to the reef
Where the waves break


PS:I am glad that many are finding great interests in Tahitian songs. Hope this helps
