Haka rogo mai korua

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Mito y Fusión Rapa Nui's song "Caminando" speak to the pride and connection to the land and mythology of Rapa Nui (Easter Island). The song begins with a call for attention ("Haka rogo mai korua") and an acknowledgement of the human presence ("E te humana ere"). The singer then continues with a reference to the music they are singing ("Ite himene nei, Ote rapa nui"), which is distinctly Rapa Nui. The reference to "te mahana pae" is an allusion to the island's beautiful landscape which is being celebrated through the song.


The next part of the song is a call to the listener to join in ("He ki atu au kia koe") and a statement of unity between the singer and the rest of the Rapa Nui people ("E nua ere he toru tatou kirote hoko"). The chorus of the song declares the importance of Rapa Nui's history and culture ("Rapa nui te henua era, Ote moai, Ote manu uru, Ote rogo rogo") and reinforces the singer's pride in their heritage ("Te he e nua era, Ote maohi").
