A whole tribe of Techno Trolls was traveling across the vast ocean.

They had travelled by whale or dolphin.

The whales and dolphins had saddlebags to carry their exploration gear.

They were led by their king.

King: Tatou o tagata folau vala'auina

Le atua o le sami tele e o mai

O ava'e le lu'itau e lelei

Tapenapena

All: Aue, aue

Nuku i mua

Te manulele e tataki e

Aue, aue

Te fenua te malie

Nae ko hakilia kaiga e

King: We read the wind and the sky when the sun is high

We swim the length of the seas on the ocean breeze

At night, we name every star

We know where we are

We know who we are, who we are

All: Aue, aue

King: We set a course to find

A brand new reef everywhere we roam

All: Aue, aue

King: We keep our reef in our mind

And when it's time to find home

We know the way

All: Aue, aue

King: We are explorers reading every sign

We tell the stories of our elders in a never-ending chain

All: Aue, aue

Te fenua, te malie

Nae ko hakilia

We know the way

The vision ended.

Trollex finally knew the truth.

"We were voyagers."

He then excitedly swam out of the cave, " We were voyagers! We were voyagers! We were voyagers! We were voyagers!"

He then went to his grandfather, "Why'd we stop?"

Current put a sour look on his face, "Maui."
