Ka Poipoia

Matarua with solo by Moko at PCC, during our stopover in Oahu on our way to Moloka'i in 2007......On quiet nights I am watched over by God, In my house of rest, There are the stars, The moon shines, On the illuminated sea, They become my companions, In the bosom of my house of rest, The clouds by the milkyway are for me, To cover my nakedness, They become my companions, In the bosom of my house of rest

translation....

I rest in the calm, still night. The stars and the sky act as the cloak of God and becomes my place of rest. The sparkling stars are out, so is the full moon. They become my companions in my house of rest. The clouds in the milkyway are showing me my pathway. they become my companions in my house of rest.

The thing that is so special about a singer is when they can take a beautiful song like this and make it totally theirs. 

When there is conviction in the voice that resonates a pure emotion then it only carries the listener to a whole new world. My sister you are truly blessed. It doesn't matter that there are 4 dislikes. This just tells me they don't understand what they don't know. A true gift from above, always thankful and remember to stay humble..peacex
