Southern valley of my dreams
Mountain rise up to the sky
Floating in a pool of water pure and warm
Stone of green it turns to gold
Kiss my skin wash the pain away
South a valley
Where the mountain meets the sky
There's a story there
There's a story there
Stone of green turns gold as it soothes my soul
There's a story there
There's a story there
Chorus:
Gotta walk the talk of my ancestors
Walk the talk of my tipuna (4x)
Lonely river rushes to the sea
There's a story there, there's a story there
Stone of green turns gold as it soothes my soul
There's a story there, there's a story there
Chorus
When the fire's dead and gone and the people are too
Who will call your name who will sing your song
Beyond the moko there's another
across the sea he said he discovered
my world my mountain my river my valley
Smooth the pillow of a dying people - aue
Haka
Whakataua
Whakataua
Ki a rangi e tu nei
Heke iho oku tipuna ma
Maranga mai ai
Ko te hiku nuku e
Ta taua rangi
Hu ha hi
No te parekura
Ko puharakeke tapu
Ki roto i tenei kohaka
Karara o
Ngai Tuhaitara
Ngati Kuri
Koia nei to waka pounamu
I whakaotia
E o huaki uta ki tai hi ha aue
Little bird carry on your wing
Over land across the sea
Place inside the dream of one whose sleeping there
This restless heart will search no more
As nightfall comes
Like magic I'll appear I'll be there
Aue
