The Tahitian language is quite beautiful, warm and friendly. I chose a few phrases within this poem that follows or preceded the translation to English.
Warm is the journey's end where tepid spirits play
On beaches of smiling sand and azure sun drenched shore
Birds circle the westerly winds from the lands so far away
To the isle that "te tia nei anae", stands alone forever evermore
Joy filled voices abound with singing and laughter each day
For the simple life teems and flows with the fruits of kindness
Compelling the castaway with lost gratitude to say...
Live! "I Ora Na" and lift the veil of their downhearted blindness
She bathes us with an ocean deeply jubilant holding its treasure of peace
While the winds whisper the vespers "A tia noa mai" Please stay!
Embrace and behold this beauteous sun spirit that never will cease
Be anchored in my crystal sea paradise circled in my scented lei
Birds circle the westerly winds from the lands so far away
Warm is the journey's end where tepid spirits play
