Lyrics :
Atomi Testing
Verse
You wanted to kill and started to kill us
Now you’re more able to kill the rebels
You weighted the bill and started to thrill us
Now you’re unstable against the people
Now you’ve got the bomb, feeling up and strong
Ready to protect and never do wrong
Now you’ve got the bomb, feeling up and strong
Ready to destroy but never do wrong
Chorus
Topa i roto i te ati a te uira atomi
(Tomber dans le feu de la bombe atomique)
Toru ahuru matahiti i te fifi noa ra (Trente années de souffrance)
Hanere iva ahuru ma toru paura atomi i haruru
(193 bombes nucléaires ont détonnées)
I Moruroa vahi atea (Moruroa terre lointaine)
Ua ino roa to oe nei fenua (Ta terre a été souillée/abimée)
Verse
This is a price that money can’t pay
Many lives many lands have been affected
The island sickness is not going away
Many illnesses have been detected
This is a trace that humans will pay
Many days many years and many decades
The homeland sickness is not going away
Many places are still unprotected
Radioactivity never had to be in Polynesia in Moruroa in Fangataufa
Atomic testing never had to be in Polynesia in Moruroa in Fangataufa
All my family ever has to live in Polynesia, in Porinetia
The society ever has to live in Polynesia, in Porinetia
Chorus
Topa i roto i te ati a te uira atomi
(Tomber dans le feu de la bombe atomique)
Toru ahuru matahiti i te fifi noa ra (Trente années de souffrance)
Hanere iva ahuru ma toru paura atomi i haruru
(193 bombes nucléaires ont détonnées)
I Moruroa vahi atea (Moruroa terre lointaine)
Ua ino roa to oe nei fenua (Ta terre a été souillée/abimée)
Verse
Aue Moruroa e, ua tafetafeta to e ruperupe
(Pauvre Moruroa, ta beauté a été souillée)
Ua ama te natura, no reira ua ma’i te nunaa
(La nature a brulée, le peuple est tombé malade)
Atira to te mau hui tamarii (Jusqu’aux petits enfants)
Hu Ha He
Hu Ha He
Chorus
Topa i roto i te ati a te uira atomi
(Tomber dans le feu de la bombe atomique)
Toru ahuru matahiti i te fifi noa ra (Trente années de souffrance)
Hanere iva ahuru ma toru paura atomi i haruru
(193 bombes nucléaires ont détonnées)
I Moruroa vahi atea (Moruroa terre lointaine)
Ua ino roa to oe nei fenua (Ta terre a été souillée/abimée)
