Thank you Fafaru for this heart-melting song. Your song caresses the sensitive chords of our hearts, regardless of language barrier. Aaahh, I just wanna get up & dance anywhere, anytime whenever I hear this song. it's hard to focus on anything but dance or just relax. Very relaxing in a rat- race world. Massively intoxicating to my senses. Oiauee, the expertise at the uku, you just plucking at my heartstrings! Malie hiva Tahiti! Massively appreciated.

can i have the english translation for this song please?

[AtheaTahiti]

@temanaia Here is one translation, Anyone feel free to correct/complete it:

Hurt me. I heard my friend/beloved was saying hurting things about me . Father, mother what wrong have I done? My tears are falling. I cry at night. Why my friend/beloved? Father, mother this is why deep inside I ache hearing those hurting words. It is as if my soft skin was pierced again and again by my friend/beloved. So hurt.

Thank you very VERY much for sharing this song. I am originally from Moorea, and I remember singing this song in the "truck" after school on our way home. This was back in the late 80s, if I remember correctly.

I love Te Ava Piti. Thank you again. This song brought back a lot of memories, good memories.
