Paroles et traduction Maisey Rika - Te Aroha

Te Aroha

Te aroha i te ata
Tena whakarongo mai ki ahau
Whaia ki uta
Whaia te oranga
Noho pumau mo ake

Rikoriko kahukura whiti mai
Oho ake au patuki tonu te ngakau
E te tau, whiri mai ki ahau
Aue, e ipo pahuru mai
Ma te mate au i te aroha mou e te
Tau
Aue, minamina i te po
Ma te mate au i te aroha mou e te
Tau

Te manako i te ata
Kia awhi atu, awhi mai
Ka rongohia koe to upoko ki toku uma taua e

Rikoriko kahukura whiti mai
Oho ake au patuki tonu te ngakau
E te tau, whiri mai ki ahau

Te Aroha

Te aroha i te ata
My darling, listen to me
Seek the peaks
Seek life
Be steadfast for all eternity

Rare seagull, fly in
My heart beats fast all at once
My friend, turn to me
Alas, my love, I am consumed by longing
I die of love for you, my friend
My friend
Alas, I yearning in the night
I die of love for you, my friend
My friend

My longing in the morning
For us to hold each other
Your head will rest upon my bosom evermore

Rare seagull, fly in
My heart beats fast all at once
My friend, turn to me
