Original lyrics
The Moon
You were the sun
But you couldn’t see it
A light for everyone
Did not believe it
‘Cause you don’t see the light
You’re behind the Earth at night
And you’re dying for someone
To tell you you’re bright
Like the moon
The moon, the moon
You were the sun
But you couldn’t see it
You heard from everyone
Did not believe it
And the sky’s open wide
But you’re searching my eyes
For a sign that I like what I see in you
And you are on fire
But you are so far from believing
So you look to the moon
The moon, the moon
Well, the moon gets all its spark
Reflecting light of stars
But can never love you bright enough
To tell you who you are
That’s up to you
To you, to you
But you look to the moon
The moon, the moon
You look to the moon
The moon, the moon
We were the sun
But we couldn’t see it

Ko e Māhina
Ko koe na'e hoko ki he La'ā
Kae hala ke ke sio ia
Ha maama maa taha kotoa
'Ikai ke tui ki ai
He 'ikai ke sio koe 'a e maama
Ke 'i mui 'i Maamani lolotonga 'i poó ni
Pea ke holi maa hataha
Ke tala ange kia te koe 'oku maamaloa koe.
Hange ko e Māhina
Ko e Māhina, ko e Māhina.
Ko koe na'e ki he La'ā
Kae hala ke ke sio ia
Ke fanongo mei he laulea
Ka 'ikai tui ki ai
Pea 'ataa lahi 'e he langi na
Ka fekumi'i koe 'eku mata
Maa e faka'ilonga 'oku sai'ia au mo e me'a 'oku ou sio 'ia koe
Pea tutu koe
Ka mama'o koe mui he tui.
Pea ke mamata ki he Māhina
He Māhina, he Māhina.
Pea ma'u 'e he Māhina 'ene kalofiama
Maama 'utua 'o e ngaahi fetu'u
Ka 'ikai 'aupito ke fe'unga 'eku 'ofa atu mo e ulo na
Keu tala atu he ko hai koe.
'Aonga ia 'ia koe
'Ia koe, 'ia koe
Ka 'oku ke mamata ki he Māhina
He Māhina, he Māhina
Ke mamata koe ki he Māhina
He Māhina, he Māhina.
Ko kitaua na'e hoko ki he La'ā
Kae hala ke ta sio ia.
