Lyrics - Tahitian
(Tahitian folk song)
E e e ma’e maita’i te ‘uru
A tunu ia ‘ama
Pahi te pa’a
Ta’iri’iri e
La u’ au’a e
‘Iriti te hune
E ‘ai te i ‘o
English Translation – The Tree Fruit Bread
This is very good Uru
It must be cooked well
Removes the bark
Clap, clap
It is tender
Removes heart
And eats it.
