Lyrics and translation Lorde - Hine-i-te-Awatea / Oceanic Feeling

Hine-i-te-Awatea / Oceanic Feeling

He rā paki i Te Pōporo
Pōhutu i te wai pūāhuru
Ka hoki ngā mahara ki te ohinga o taku pāpā
(O taku pāpā)
He rā paki
Kia hīia ake te ika nui
Ka haea te kiri
Te oha ka mihia
Katoa mai i tai
Mai i uta (Mai i uta)
Ahureinga o te aroha
Tā te tamariki mahi, he wāwāhi tahā
E te tau, ka tau kē!
He aha rā kei tua?
Ā tōna wā ka mōhio (Mōhio)
Tai kato, kao mai ana te whai
Whakarongo rā ki ngā manu a Rehua
Ngā ngaru o te moana
Kua tau nei a Hine-raumati
Kua hora ko te paki o Hewa, o Rūhī ki te ao mārama
E ngā uri o anamata
Ka rite rā koe ki a wai rā?
Ki ahau e noho nei, e pohewa ana?
Ka noho atu ki tō ipo, kataina ai ngā whetū?
Anō te whaea i te ohinga (I te ohinga)
Whitikina koe e te rā, ko tō ātārangi ka mahue ki muri
He tānga manawa
Mauri ora (Ora, ora, ora)
Kia hiwa (Hiwa, hiwa, hiwa)
Mauri ora (Ora, ora, ora)
Kia hiwa (Hiwa, hiwa, hiwa)
Mauri ora (Ora, ora, ora)
Kia hiwa (Hiwa, hiwa, hiwa)
Mauri ora (Ora, ora, ora)
Kia hiwa (Hiwa, hiwa, hiwa)
I kitea rānei te māramatanga e āta whāia ana?
Ka aro koe ki ngā tohu o te taiao
Ki te ākau he ahikā
Nā te tāwhaowhao ka mura
Me āta kī mai kua eke rā te wā
Nau mai rā, e Hine-i-te-awatea

Hine-i-te-Awatea / An Oceanic Feeling

The day breaks over Te Pōporo
Spouting in the churning water
My thoughts go back to where my father rests
(My father)
A brand new day
A great fish is hauled up
Its flesh is shared
The sacred oha is offered
All from the sea
From the land
The wonders of love
The work of children, breaks the dawn
My friend, my friend!
What lies beyond?
In time you will know (You will know)
The ocean calls, its waves approach
Listen to the birds of Rehua
Murmurs of the sea
Hine-raumati has arrived
The cold of Hewa and Rūhī has been dispelled
Oh descendants of the ancients
Who are you like?
Me who am here, lost in thought?
Do you live with your beloved, counting the stars?
My mother in the grave (In the grave)
The sun will rise, leaving your sleeping form behind
A moment in time
Life eternal
May you be refreshed
Life eternal
May you be refreshed
Life eternal
May you be refreshed
Life eternal
May you be refreshed
Have you seen the wisdom that is constantly being sought?
Observe the signs of nature
In the north is a rainbow
The wind whispers
As if to say, the time has come
Greetings, Hine-i-te-awatea
