Tarakihi
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
E, pakia kia rite
E, ko te rite kia rite
E, takahia kia ngawari
E, torona kei waho
Hoki mai
E whakarongo ai au
Ki te tangi mai
A te manu nei,
A te tarakihi,
I te weheruatanga
o te po
Tara ra-ta kita kita
Tara ra-ta kita kita
Wiri o papa, towene, towene
Wiri o papa, towene, towene
Hope whai-a-ke
Turi whatia
Ei! Ei! Ha!
