     Tiare, oe no te tama maho'i e (vocals only)

     Tiare, oe no Tahiti

     Tiare, hope roa ite nehenehe

     no to'oe no'ano'a

     Te fa'a no'ano'a ite mau purotu

     No tama to'oe poe here nei

     I te mau mahana atoa

     Ti..a...re

     Tiare, oe no te tama maho'i e

     Tiare, oe no te tama maho'i e


     Translation:

     The Tiare of the native people (Intro)
     Tiare, flower of Tahiti
     Tiare, you're ultimately beautiful
     (your) beautiful fragrance
     (Your beautiful fragrance) is so womanly
     The beloved flower worm above the ear
     All days, always
     The tiare of the Polynesian (native) people
     The Tiare of the native people

In the song Tiare oe no Tahiti,  shouldn't the words for the Tahitian people be "maohi e" not "maho'i e"? 
Please let me know
