We’re Back Songtext
von Auliʻi Cravalho

Fa′alogo I galuega
Mana'o mai (la)
Mana′o mai (ooheke)
Io io, ioa (aueke, kimua ia)
Te atea (heke heke toku vaka, heke)
Te atea (fano)
Matagofie (eh te atea, te atea)
Matagofie (eh te atea)

Sailing from the horizon
Back to our home, our island
Coming into our view beneath the morning sky (oh, we're back)
From new shores we've been exploring
Returning to tell our story
Connеcted with both the land and sea (auе, aue)

Finally, we′re back to who we′re meant to be
(Te atea, te atea) who I'm meant to be
Voyaging the sea (te atea)
(We′re back)


The village is lush and thriving
Weaving new kites for flying
Building new homes and families
Our people just keep expanding (oh, we're back)

Let′s pull the roof higher
Ugh, I can't wait ′til I retire
The ancestors would be proud
What once was lost has been found

Finally, we're back to who we're meant to be
(Who we′re meant to be, who we′re meant to be)
Do you have to sing? (Yes, we have to sing)
Ugh, hey, kids!

Gather 'round if you wanna hear about the greatest wayfinder of all time
A living legend, and she′s besties with a demigod (like super besties)
Together, they saved our land, and then, like, totally set us free
What's next? We′ll see, how much better could it be?
Unless Maui was also friends with me (yeah, right)
Look, she's coming


Welcome our brave Moana
I wonder what she brought us
The new canoe needs inspecting
There′s always something to fix on board
The village believes in her (that's right!)
The village believes (ooh)
I made it past the reef
Race the Chief to shore?
Aw, Dad, it's never much of a race

(Te atea) the life is back in the water (he)
Our people have come out stronger (he)
The voyaging past we honor
(Oh) thanks to our daughter, oh, hey

Sailing from the horizon, can′t wait to reach my island
The home I′ve been missing, and the life I'm meant to lead (we′re back)
Moana, she points us to the future of Motunui
Connected with both the land and sea

Oh, finally, we're back to who we′re meant to be
(Te atea, te atea) of the land and sea
Finally, we're back to who we′re meant to be
(Who we're meant to be, who we're meant to be)
