Te Marama I Te Po Nei

Maori Waiata - from www.maorilanguage.net

Te Marama i te po nei
- The Moon in the night
Nga Whetu i te rangi
- and the Stars in the sky.
Oho ake koe e Hine
- You awaken, o Maiden
Papaki kau ana e
- to a gentle clapping.

Me pea hara koe e hine
- If perhaps I offend you oh Maiden
E mutu wai ko aroha
- this flow of emotion will end
Me he rukuruku pea
- perhaps with a dive into
Nga wai o Matauri e
- Matauri Bay

Here is the original second verse.

Me pehea ra e Hine
- So how will you, oh Maiden
E mutu ai to aroha
- cease your pining?
Me rukuruku pea
- Perhaps by diving
Nga wai o Waikato e.
- into the Waikato river.

Performed by Mana Epiha.

He aha hoki koutou i tini i te waiata nei ki "me rukuruku pea, nga wai o Matauri"? mai i te "me rukuruku pea, nga wai o Waikato e." Roa ke te paepae tapu o Waikato e waiata ana i tenei waiata.
