Текст и перевод песни Dame Kiri Te Kanawa - Tarakihi (The Locust)

Tarakihi (The Locust)

E, pakia kia rite
E, ko te rite kia rite
E, takahia kia ngawari
E, torona kei waho
Hoki mai

E whakarongo ai au
Ki te tangi mai
A te manu nei,

A te tarakihi,
I te weheruatanga
O te po

Tara ra-ta kita kita
Tara ra-ta kita kita

Wiri o papa, towene, towene
Wiri o papa, towene, towene

Hope whai-a-ke
Turi whatia
Ei! Ei! Ha!

Tarakihi (The Locust)

Come, strike it rightly
Come, strike it rightly
Come, dance it lightly
Come, blow it loud
Return

I have heard
The cry
Of the bird,

The tarakihi,
In the beginning
Of the night

Tara ra-ta kita kita
Tara ra-ta kita kita

Wiri o papa, towene, towene
Wiri o papa, towene, towene

Hope whai-a-ke
Turi whatia
Ei! Ei! Ha!
