Okeroa Douglas - Kia Ora Hola Crew Tribute (English Subtitles)

Dear Okeroa...
may you be blessed in your journey

Oh beloved Kia Ora Hola crew...
Matatia
Te Miringa
Te Wehi
Te Amorangi
Tanawhea
we are so thankful that you once walked upon our land
sharing your very soul and your linage with us
we are proud of you
your tribute to Oke touch as so deeply
you will be in our hearts forever

Dear Okeroa's family and community...
how sad is this moment
our prayer will be with all of you
how deeply our hearts are touched by what seems to be an end
from a being so young
and in such an unexpected way
yet some know that death is not the worst news
and that it might be a blessed passage
may God bless you
so you can find peace in your hearts
and understanding in your minds

Arohanui, na

Song: "La Flaca" by Jarabe De Palo

En la vida conocí mujer igual a la flaca
coral negro de la Habana, tremendísima mulata
cien libras de piel y hueso, cuarenta kilos de Salsa
y en la cara dos soles que sin palabras hablan

La flaca duerme de día, dice que así el hambre engaña
cuando cae la noche baja a bailar a la tasca
y bailar y bailar, y tomar y tomar
una cerveza tras otra pero ella nunca engorda

Por un beso de la flaca daría lo que fuera
por un beso de ella, aunque solo uno fuera

Mojé mis sabanas blancas, como dice la canción
recordando las caricias que me brindó el primer día,
y enloquezco de ganas de dormir a su ladito,
porque Dios que esta flaca a mi me tiene loquito

Translation to English by 99thminer:

The Skinny Woman

In my life I never knew a woman like the skinny
black coral from Havana, most tremendous mulatto woman
hundred pounds of skin and bones, forty kilos of Salsa
and in her face two suns that speak without words

The skinny sleeps by day, says that so deceives hunger
when night falls she comes down to dance at the tavern
and dance and dance, and drink and drink
one beer after another but she never fattens

For a kiss from the skinny I would give anything
for a kiss from her, if only be one

I wet my white sheets, as the song says,
remembering the caresses she gave me the first day
and I go mad of desire to sleep next to her,
for God, this skinny woman keeps me nutty

Los seis recorrieron nuestra tierra chilena... compartiendo su entusiasmo, su alegría, su maravilloso linaje maori.

Esta era su "canción de viaje"... aprendida de los amigos chilenos.

Hoy la cantan en tributo a la compañera que ha partido.
