Aue te ngawari!

 

Kōrihi Aue te ngāwari Tēnei ko te aroha Na, ka kimi ka kokiritia e tāua Te tūhonotanga o Te pō whakareka  Ka ao ka mārena Tāia te wā, kite i Te ngāwari o te aroha i a ahau

Chorus Cause I make it easy To fall in love So come give me a call And we’ll fall into us I’m the perfect mix of, Saturday night and the rest of your life Anyone with a heart would agree It’s so easy  To fall in love with me

Enua Manea

Enua Manea 

Te vai nei, Ka vai ra

Manakonako anga ia naku i te ao e 

Te iriri o te po, maiata e tu mai nei

Mei te moemoea, te ara ua nei 

Marau rupe te tiare tanumia i te pae kainga, Rarotonga e! 

Taku i akaruke mai te aro'a e te tangi
I roto i te au o, tuaivi, te au maunga, Rarotonga e

Toku roimata e ta'e nei

To taua ngutuare enua

Aue Rarotonga

Translation

Beautiful island

It is still here and will always be here  

Im always thinking and yearning of you wherever I am in the world

The beauty of the night, I am awake yet I am dreaming

Beautiful and lush flowers planted near my home - that's you Rarotonga 

I left you with sadness and tears in my heart

Oh my Rarotonga

(Karanga)

Kāore te aroha ki te kororia tapu

E waewae ake ana i te ara kūiti

Nau mai e tama ka haere tāua

Ki a Ihaia kia monitatia

Kia huihui tātau he kōrero hanga nui

 

(Waiata)

E kore rātau e koeketia

Pēnei i a tātau kua mahue

 

E kore hoki rātau e ngoikore

 

Ahakoa i ngā ahuatanga (o te wā) x2

I te tōrengitanga (o te rā) x2

 

Tae noa ki te aranga mai o te ata

Ka maumahara tonu tātau ki a rātau

Ka maumahara tonu tātau ki a rātau

 

 

Nō te tai Hauauru (7)                            E kore rātau e wareware i a ahau

Nō te tai Rāwhiti                                     Ka maumahara tonu tātau ki a rātau

Nō te tai Tonga

Nō te tai Runga

 

E kore hoki rātau e ngoikore

Ahakoa i ngā ahuatanga o te wā       Ahakoa i ngā ahuatanga o te wā

I te tōrengitanga o te rā                          I te tōrengitanga o te rā                  

 

Ka maumahara tonu tātau ki a rātau

Ka maumahara tonu tātau ki a rātau

Ka maumahara tonu tātau ki a rātau

Ka maumahara tonu tātau ki a rātau
