Rakau and Poi Waiata.
E auē, ka mate au
E hine, hoki mai rā
E papa waiari
Taku nei mahi
Taku nei mahi
He tuku roimata
E auē, ka mate au
E hine, hoki mai rā
Māku e kaute ō hīkoitanga
Māku e kaute ō hīkoitanga
E auē, ka mate au
E hine, hoki mai rā
Oh, I will surely die
My darling girl, please return to me
My grief overwhelms me
And all I do
And all I do
Is to shed tears relentlessly
Oh, I will surely die
My darling girl, please return to me
I will count your every footstep
I will count your every footstep
Oh, I will surely die
My darling girl, please return to me.
KUA RONGO TAKU POI (with poi)
Kua rongo taku poi
I te reo powhiri
E karanga mai nei e
E karanga iho ana
Ki te motu whanui
Piki mai kake mai ra
No wai te reo
No wai te mana
Ka kitea e au e
Ko te kohe tonu ra
O te kura Oneroa e
Ko te kohe tonu ra
O te kura Oneroa e.
E rere taku poi, e rere taku poi
Ki runga (ki runga)
E rere taku poi, e rere taku poi
Ki raro (ki raro)
E rere runga, E rere raro
E rere roto, E rere waho
E rere taku poi, e rere taku poi
Ki runga
Hi Aue Hi
Fly my poi, fly my poi high
Fly my poi, fly my poi low
Fly upwards and then fly downwards
Fly inwards and then fly outwards
Fly my poi, fly my poi high
WHITI TE MĀRAMA I TE PŌ
Whiti te mārama i te pō
Tiaho iho mai koe
Hei karu mō te mata o te pō (2x)
Whiti te mārama i te pō
Tiaho iho mai koe
Hei karu mō te mata o te pō (2x)
Tō ana te rā ki te moe e
Tiaho iho mai koe
Hei karu mō te mata o te pō (2x)
Ki te kore koe, te karu o te pō
Pōuri ana taku ara e (2x)
Hoki ana ahau ki te moe e
Tiaho iho mai koe
Hei karu mō te mata o te pō (2x)
Whitiwhiti ana e, te mārama i te pō (2x)
The moon shines in the night
You beam down, the eye of the face of the night
When the sun sets to sleep
You beam down, the eye of the face of the night
Without you the eye of the night
My path is lost
When I turn to sleep
You beam down, the eye of the face of the night
Forever shining, the moon of the night
