Kuki Airani, Taku Ipukare

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.

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.

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.

Lucky to call you home, my paradise nation,

Kuki Airani forever, my constant inspiration.

From Rarotonga to Aitu,

Vibrant, beautiful, endlessly free.

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.

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.

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.

Lucky to call you home, my paradise nation,

Kuki Airani forever, my constant inspiration.

From Rarotonga to Atiu,

Vibrant, beautiful, endlessly free.

Lucky to call you home, my paradise nation,

Cook Islands forever, my constant inspiration.

From Rarotonga to Atiu,

Vibrant, beautiful, endlessly free.

Lucky to call you home, my paradise nation,

Kuki Airani forever, my constant inspiration.

From Rarotonga to Atiu,

Vibrant, beautiful, endlessly free.

Lucky to call you home, my paradise nation,

Kuki Airani forever, my constant inspiration.

From Rarotonga to Atiu,

Vibrant, beautiful, endlessly free.
