Maiden of the dawn
Click to see the original lyrics (Maori)
I dive into the water that embraces me
I think about my father when he was a child (when he was a child)
It’s a fine day
Let’s catch the big one
Sliding the knife under the skin
Grateful for this offering
And all the living things
Under the sun from land to sea
My love for you is endless
Kids will be kids
Baby boy, you’re super cool
What does the future hold?
Time will tell
The rays are gathering in the bay now
Listen to the cicadas, the children of Rehua
And the waves of the ocean
Hine-raumati, the Summer Maiden is here
And there isn’t a cloud in the sky
To my future descendants
Who will you resemble?
Will you be like me, a daydreamer?
Will you spend time laughing at the stars with your lover?
Just like your mother when she was a girl
May the sun shine upon you and cast your shadows behind you
Pause and breathe
Live well
And tune in
Live well
And tune in
Live well
And tune in
Live well
And tune in
Did you find the enlightenment you seek?
Heed the signs of the environment
On the beach you’ll find your fort
The firewood will be lit
You’ll let me know when the time is right
Welcome, Hine-i-te-awatea, the Light Maiden
Thanks! ❤ |
