Kua Iti Te Marama

Kua iti te Marama i te po poiri,
Toku tiaki'anga rai ia koe.
 
Kua pati au rai ia koe e ine
Aere mai ka aere taua ki te ura.
 
Moumou i to manea,
E to ei tiare,
Tei rakei ia ki runga i to tino.
 
Translation

The Moon Arose

The moon arose in the dead of night1
As I waited for you.
 
I asked for you, my love.
Come, and we'll go to the dance.
 
You squander your beauty
And your tiare2
Which you wear around your body.
 
  • 1. lit. dark night
  • 2. the Rarotongan word for the fragrant gardenia flower.
