Mohotani (sometimes spelt Moho Tani; also called Molopu or Motane) is an uninhabited island southeast of Hiva Oa and east of Tahuata in the southern Marquesas Islands. It has an area of 15 km². Much of the island's sparse vegetation has been destroyed by feral goats and sheep, to the extent that following its rare rains, the sea around it is stained red from runoff. Early reports describes the island as fertile, with forest and fields. When Thor Heyerdahl visited the island in 1938, there were only a few goats and remains of deserted huts and villages.
Mohotani is administratively part of the commune (municipality) of Hiva-Oa, itself in the administrative subdivision of the Marquesas Islands.
It is reported that at one time the island was inhabited by a clan called the “Moi a Tiu”, but that population has long since been wiped out by disease and war, the few survivors having departed for Hiva ʻOa. In pre-European times, the island was considered part of the territory of the province of Pepane.

어쩌면 이렇게 날 아프게하니
또 한번 날 울려놓니
너 밖에 없다했는데 내 기도가 부족했니
아니지 착한 니가 떠날일없지
뭔가 오해가 있겠지
얼마나 좋아했는데
하늘이 알잖아 우리
알지 난 니가 처음이였어
너의 여자로 살 꿈을 꾸고
돌아선 니 걱정에 밤을 새는
못나디 못난 내 사랑
궁금해 니 마음에 들어온 사람
괜찮은 사람인건지
날 사랑했던것처럼 입 맞추고 안고 웃니
알지 난 니가 처음이였어
너의 여자로 살 꿈을 꾸고
돌아선 니 걱정에 밤을 새는
못나디 못난 내 사랑
정말로 너를 사랑했었어
아낌없이 다 주고싶었어
행복해 니가 더 미워질만큼
