Tiare, Lovely Flower of Tahiti - Music by Prince Kawohi
English lyrics by Steve Graham, Tahitian lyrics by Eddie Lund

Tiare tau i here te Tahiti
Nehenehe ae no te ao nei
Tiare unauna te Tiare
No Tahiti e ta'u aia e

Te tupu mai te here ia oe
I roto i ta'u mafatu
Tiare tau i vai noara
Iau nei Tiare e tie

Prince Kawohi
Tiare, lovely flower of Tahiti
A blossom rare, beyond compare
Tiare, lovely flower of the island
I offer you, a love that's true

You came to me and set my heart afire
You'll always be my desire
Tiare, lovely flower of Tahiti
Stay close to me, eternally
