One Particular Harbour?

Post by ClubJilliby »

Hi!
This is my first time posting to this forum, so please advise if I am not doing so correctly!

This song starts with lyrics from a language with which I am not familiar:

Ia Ora Te Natura
E Mea Arofa Teie Ao Nei
Ia Ora Te Natura
E Mea Arofa Teie Ao Nei

What is the language, and can someone translate for me?

Thanks!

I knew Debbie was lying to me about that translation. She said it meant,

I sing for you naturally
barefoot in shorts
bring big money
buy ticket
buy other stuff too
and I buy new airplane
