Maruru A Vau - Farewell For Just Awhile
Words & music Eddie Lund, English lyrics by Jack Brooks
 
E mauruuru a vau
Te tiare Tahiti
E mauruuru a vau
Te tiare Tahiti

 
Aue te mauiui
Rahi i to revaraa
Na te ara
Aue te aroha
I tou mau hoa
O tau i here

 
Ia atae noa`tura te mahana
E hoi mai a vau
Ei reira tatou
E himene faahou
E mauruuru a vau

E mauruuru a vau
E mauruuru a vau
 
Farewell for just awhile
We're parting with a smile
Dreams will keep me near you
Farewell for just awhile


It's time for us to say
Farewell for just awhile
For just a little while
So let's be thankful
That we're parting with a smile
It's easy when you smile


I'll miss you so
But dreams will keep me near you, I know
We'll meet again
Farewell for just awhile
For just a little while

Farewell for just awhile
Farewell for just awhile
