Lyrics Waku - Minaral a Minalay - Christine Anu

My mother is the eldest
Is the eldest of the seven
All the seven of the sisters
With the pattern of the match
And the colors and the weaving
Are a bond that's made with love
So the waku is unbroken
That the seven sisters wove

Waku
Walk across my weaving
Waku (waku)

When he came into the world
He was placed upon the mat
Pandana soft and gentle
Where I place my baby head
He's a child and full of wonder
He crawls along the weaving
When he fell in love and married
Play the mind waku

Waku (waku)
He walks across my weaving
Waku (waku)
He walks across my weaving
Minaral minalay, waku

When his time has come to end
Like a blanket, he'll be covered
(Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh)

Here he comes the warrior
All tied and battle weary
He walks across my weaving
With the lightness in his step
He comes holding strong the Kuguai
She's blind and cannot not see him
But she calls out loud his name
Kuwiya

Waku
Come and walk across my weaving
Waku
Come and walk across my weaving
Mineral minalay, waku

Waku
Walk across my weaving
Oh, waku
He walks across my weaving
Oh, waku
He walks across my weaving
Oh, waku
He walks across my weaving
Oh, waku
