I just love this kiwi traditional song:) Lyrics is down here. Let's sing along♪

Pōkarekare ana
ngā wai o Rotorua,
Whiti atu koe hine
marino ana e.
E hine e
hoki mai ra.
Ka mate ahau
I te aroha e.

English

They are agitated
the waters of Rotorua,
But when you cross over girl
they will be calm.
Oh girl
return to me,
I could die
of love for you

    Thanks for the comment:) For Japanese, it's easy to read and speak maori even if we don't understand meaning. cause we have very similar pronunciation in our language. try to test japanese around you:)
