Tiaho Mai Ra

KUPU MĀORI

Tiaho mai rā

Te whetu o te ata
Kopu i te ao,
Pareārau i te pō.
Ka tū te ao mārama
he ao hara.
Tū mai rā koe hei tohu i ahau,
Tū mai rā koe hei tohu i ahau,

E kore te aroha,
E kaupare noa
Hoki mai rā ki ahau, e te tau.
Hoki mai rā ki ahau, e te tau.

Tiaho mai rā
Te whetu o te ata
Kopu i te ao,
Pareārau i te pō.
Ka tū te ao mārama
he ao hara
Tu mai rā koe hei tohu i ahau,
Tu mai rā koe hei tohu i ahau.


TRANSLATION

Shining over there
Is the morning star
Venus in the dawn,
Saturn in the night.
The world of light rises
Above a world left behind.
You rise up there as a sign to me 
You rise up there as a sign to me... 

...that love does not
Randomly turn away.
Come back to me my darling
Come back to me my darling

Shining over there
Is the morning star
Venus in the dawn,
Saturn in the night.
The world of light rises
Above a world left behind
You rise up there as a sign to me 
You rise up there as a sign to me.
