[Māori] Love Song

Lyrics

[Intro]  
Āe-āe, oh-oh, āe

[Verse 1]  
Awhinatia, kei te āhua o te rā  
Takahi wāwae i te one, ngā ringa i te rangi  
He māreikura tō kata, ngā rangi  
Waiata reka e horoi ana i te mamae

[Pre-Chorus]  
Puritia, i raro i te rangi  
Ka kihi te rā i te ngaru  
Rongo i te manawa, tāku me tāu  
I tēnei wā, ka tūtaki ngā ao

[Chorus]  
Ka heke te rā, ka mura te aroha  
Ka kanapa, kore e rite  
I ōu whatu, ka kite au i aku moemoeā  
Tahi ana, kaha ake te āhua  
Āe-āe, ko tātou ngā whetū i te pō  
E whakamarama ana i te rangi, tika rawa atu

[Verse 2]  
Ngā kōrero ngū i te hau  
He arahina te aroha, kua herekore  
Ko ia ia te ngākau e patapata ana  
He rangi tūturu o te hononga pono

[Pre-Chorus]  
Puritia, i raro i te rangi  
Ka kihi te rā i te ngaru  
Rongo i te manawa, tāku me tāu  
I tēnei wā, ka tūtaki ngā ao

[Chorus]  
Ka heke te rā, ka mura te aroha  
Ka kanapa, kore e rite  
I ōu whatu, ka kite au i aku moemoeā  
Tahi ana, kaha ake te āhua  
Āe-āe, ko tātou ngā whetū i te pō  
E whakamarama ana i te rangi, tika rawa atu

[Bridge]  
Ka taka te pō, ka tīaho tonu  
Aratakina e tēnei aroha, tapu  
Ka ngaro ngā ātārangi katoa  
Kei a koe, kāore he wehi

[Chorus]  
Ka heke te rā, ka mura te aroha  
Ka kanapa, kore e rite  
I ōu whatu, ka kite au i aku moemoeā  
Tahi ana, kaha ake te āhua  
Āe-āe, ko tātou ngā whetū i te pō  
E whakamarama ana i te rangi, tika rawa atu

[Outro]  
Āe-āe, oh-oh, whakamarama te rangi  
Ka kanapa, ko tāua  
I ōu whatu, ka kitea taku ara  
He kanikani te aroha, i ia rā
