Kua ni tagicaki au, noqu Viti lomani
Au solia noqu bula mo sa kauwaitaki
Talei vei au na noqu i tavi
E nomu rokovi kei nomu qaravi
Chorus
Ciri koto e loma ni wasaliwa
Ceguvi iko na veibiau liliwa
Rama ni siga kei na cila ni vula
Vanua domoni, Vanua ni bula.
Sa tetevi vuravura na kemu irogorogo
Rara ni qito, buca ni vala, ko dau sega tu ni soro
Kemu i divi marau na reki
Vakarokoroko nomu itekiteki.
Chorus
Au tu yawa, au vakanananu
Kina noqu yanuyanu, nuku vulavula vinaka
Qai baravi balavu, dreti au lesu ki noqu yavu
Soli noqu bula ki Vanua Tabu.
Chorus
Ciri Yawa was composed by the late Tui Nayau, Ratu Sir Kamisese Kapawai Mara.
Sorry, it’s not Ciri Yawa but Ciri Koto.

Would really appreciate an English translation of the song. Vinaka vaka levu.
Malo, a vola sere. Dua dina a veivuke levu ki vei ira a gonevuli tauri lesoni Vosa vaka-Viti e na Univesiti ni Ceva.
Malo vakalevu a vola sere. Dua dina a veivuke levu vei ira na gonevuli tauri Vosa vaka-Viti ena Univesiti ni Ceva.
The refrain has stuck in my mind ever since I flew over the Lau group in a helicopter in the early 80s. When I was working with the Fiji Film Unit. Beautiful islands in shimmering water, stunning.
