[Intro]
Oh, Taku ipukarea, land of the sun,
Where cold waves dance and the warm winds run.
Te pae pae o toku ngametua,
Our island home, forever true.
[Verse 1]
Golden sands beneath my feet, shining bright,
Lagoons shimmering under the starlit night.
Palms sway to the rhythm of the ocean’s song,
Here I belong, where my heart is strong.
[Pre-Chorus]
Breathe in the breeze, feel the island’s call,
Our culture alive, standing proud and tall.
Neighborly smiles, golden and free,
Kuki Airani, my destiny.
[Chorus]
Lucky to call you home, my paradise nation,
Kuki Airani forever, my constant inspiration.
From Rarotonga to Aitu,
Vibrant, beautiful, endlessly free.
[Gesture/Bridge]
Dance to the beat, let your spirits soar,
Celebrate our culture, cherish evermore.
Taku ipukarea, te pae pae o toku ngametua,
Our island soul, shining through.
[Outro]
So here’s to the land of endless blue,
A paradise pure, forever true.
Kuki Airani, my heart, my pride,
In your beauty, I abide.
[Pre-Chorus]
Breathe in the breeze, feel the island’s call,
Our culture alive, standing proud and tall.
Neighborly smiles, golden and free,
Kuki Airani, my destiny.
[Chorus]
Lucky to call you home, my paradise nation,
Kuki Airani forever, my constant inspiration.
From Rarotonga to Atiu,
Vibrant, beautiful, endlessly free.
[Chorus]
Lucky to call you home, my paradise nation,
Cook Islands forever, my constant inspiration.
From Rarotonga to Atiu,
Vibrant, beautiful, endlessly free.
[Chorus]
Lucky to call you home, my paradise nation,
Kuki Airani forever, my constant inspiration.
From Rarotonga to Atiu,
Vibrant, beautiful, endlessly free.
[Chorus]
Lucky to call you home, my paradise nation,
Kuki Airani forever, my constant inspiration.
From Rarotonga to Atiu,
Vibrant, beautiful, endlessly free.
