[Intro]
Aya lae
Aya lae
Soro naya
Tir umae
[Verse 1]
Aya tora
Malié shana
Under green canopies
Breath of the earth in us
Sira voya
Kalié rana
Steps of the herds below
Wings in the upper air
[Chorus]
Onaa ree
Onaa ree
Vo shali tora naé
Ancient tongues of leaf and stone
Rise and answer
Calling home
Onaa ree
Onaa ree
Ko liara suma he
Mountains listen
Rivers sing
All our voices
One bright ring
[Verse 2]
Luma seya
Tera vo mana
Footprints fade into moss
Stories stay in the soil
Kara yuma
Selié vana
Clouds are slow caravan
Crossing the endless blue
[Chorus]
Onaa ree
Onaa ree
Vo shali tora naé
Ancient tongues of leaf and stone
Rise and answer
Calling home
Onaa ree
Onaa ree
Ko liara suma he
Mountains listen
Rivers sing
All our voices
One bright ring
[Bridge]
[Choir swells
Drums and brass enter]
Aya-yaa
Aya-yaa
Aya-yaa
Soro naya
Tora naé (hey!)
Aya-yaa
Aya-yaa
Aya-yaa
Heart of the wild awake
Kalié
Kalié
Kalié
River of voices roar
Selié
Selié
Selié
Life upon every shore
[Final Chorus]
Onaa ree
Onaa ree
Vo shali tora naé
Ancient tongues of leaf and stone
Rise and answer
Calling home
Onaa ree
Onaa ree
Ko liara suma he
From the first breath to the last
We are present
We hold fast
[Outro]
Aya lae
Aya lae
Soro naya
Tir umae
