Tōrea

Torea  by Te Kakano

Ko taku rite ko te torea, ka rere, ka topa

Katoa: Ki runga ee

Tau iho ki te tahuna, ki te keri i te pataka, o Hinemoana

Tai timu, Tai pari, he poto noa iho te wa.

Kaea: Ka whati...

Katoa: Ko te tai, ka pao, te torea...

Kaea: Ka whati...

Katoa: Ko te tai, ka pao, te torea.. Kotahi atu ana.

Kia rite taua, ki te manu Torea, kaua e whakaroa keria, keria. Kei whiti ana te ra.

Tai timu, Tai pari, he poto noa iho te wa.

Kaea: Ka whati...

Katoa: Ko te tai, ka pao, te torea...

Kaea: Heyy  heyy

Kaea: Ka whati...

Katoa: Ko te tai, ka pao, te torea.. Kotahi atu ana.

Kaea: uuu Tai timu, Tai pari, he poto noa iho te wa

Katoa: Poto noa iho te wa.

Kaea: Ka whati

Katoa: Ko te tai, ka pao, te torea..

Kaea: Ka whati...

Katoa: Ko te tai,

Kaea: Ka whati te tai, iiiii

Katoa: Ka pao, te torea.. Kotahi atu ana.

Kaea: Heyyyy

Katoa: Kei whiti ana te ra.

Kaea: Te ra

Katoa: Kei whiti ana te ra.

Kaea: Keri, keria

Katoa: Kei whiti ana te ra.x2

Ko taku rite ko te torea, ka rere, ka topa

Katoa: uuuuuuu

Translation

Tōrea, written by Pere Wihongi, is about making the most of opportunities in the short time that we have, "It encourages and reminds the listener of the short time one has to bring to reality their aspirations. Its like the Tōrea when the tide is out the Tōrea only has limited time to go and gather food for its self and when the tide comes in the Tōrea retreats back to its den.
