Te Vaka - Log Drum (English translation)
The search for freedom
From where you are
There is one way
That is treasured by us all.
Stand up. Sing and dance sweetly, sweetly
The warm wind is comforting
Dance freely with pride. (2x)
There is much soul searching
Though we try to do it on our own
We all belong
To the great family of the world.
Stand up. Sing and dance sweetly, sweetly
The warm wind is comforting
Dance freely with pride. (2x)

Dance ever so sweetly
Log drum
Oh! oh!
Oh! oh!
Oh! oh!
Oh! oh!
Get up, stand up, let your feelings be known
The time has come to perform the dance
Get up, stand up, let your intentions be known
Swaying ever so sweetly to the message in the dance
Oh! oh!
Oh! oh!
Oh! oh!
Oh! oh!
Watch me now, it's my turn to show
How goes with your fishing, how is it?
The fish that I truly long for
How goes with your fishing, how is it?
Dance on up
Dance just like that
Dancing ever so sweetly to the rhythm of the log drums (5x)
