We live on Rapanui

We dwell under the dome

We cut the trees for timber

And timber for our homes

The sea gives fish

The trees bear fruit

We light the oil

We hack the soot

In past there were few

In present are many

Where now is little

Long ago was plenty

What did we think

That faithful day

The forest gone

One tree remained

We lived on Rapanui

We dwelled under the dome

We cut the trees for timber

Now no one dwells within the homes
