Ko ai au sing it in my song [Chorus] Ko ai tōku toto Kuki roots in me (Kuki roots in me) Ko ai tōku toto I carry the sea (I carry the sea) From island to island your names in my chest Ko ai tōku toto I know I am blessed [Verse 2] On the family table your stories stay in shell-white laughter and the words we say Even if I wander far from the shore I hear my people calling me for more [Pre-Chorus] Ko ai au I was born to know Ko ai au let the deep roots grow [Chorus] Ko ai tōku toto Kuki roots in me (Kuki roots in me) Ko ai tōku toto I carry the sea (I carry the sea) From island to island your names in my chest Ko ai tōku toto I know I am blessed [Bridge] If I lose my way call me back home one voice, one line I’m never alone [Final Chorus] Ko ai tōku toto Kuki roots in me (Kuki roots in me) Ko ai tōku toto I carry the sea (I carry the sea) From island to island your names in my chest Ko ai tōku toto I know I am blessed
