@MrMisterdump He whetu iti purehu mai ra He tumanko kia te marama Hura e te ao Tae atu te atahou Ka penei matou Mai he tamahou A tiny star which flickers forth a light of hope the unveils a new morning this is how it is when a child is born... It roughly translates the first verse. Excuse Billy's pronounciation, it's not tae ata it's tae atu as ah2
Dam this song...and billy T rule,pity kiwis seem to have lost our ability to laugh at ourselves,billy showed the way,hopefully we can regain our sense of humour
I remember he sang this on one of the telethons. I was hoping to find that version here on You Tube. It was very moving. When I think of Billy T James singing, it is always this song I think of.
one of my favs from Billy T
