Lyrics

# LOVESWAY
*Sweefin Music — Māori Version*

**[Intro — Kitā Āfrika Māeneene, Pāorooro Ngohengohe, Tangi Tāne Māhana]**

Aue, e taku wahine,  
Kia tata mai, e taku tau.

He menemene iti, ka rere ahau,  
Ki te rangi e mōhio ana tātou.

Aue-eh-oh, aue-eh-oh,  
Tukua tō aroha kia rangatira!

Rūrū, rūrū, e taku aroha, e taku wahine,  
Kanikani mai, e taku tau ataahua!

**[Verse 1 — Ngā Waiata Ātaahua o te Moana]**

E taku wahine, whakakā ana koe i tōku wairua,  
Ko koe te whakatika i ngā wāhanga pakaru.  
Ka kuhu koe ki roto i te rūma,  
Ka wareware ngā putiputi ki te puāwai.

Kawea mai e tō kata te rā o te ata,  
Ko koe te ngahau i ngā mea noa.  
Ā, ka heke mai te ua,  
Ko koe te rangimārie kua kitea e au.

Kei a koe ō moemoeā, kei a koe tō ahi,  
Ā, aroha au ki tō whai i te teitei.  
Ehara koe i te take e tere ana taku manawa,  
Ko koe te aroha e hiahia ana au kia mau roa.

**[Pre-Chorus — Ngā Rangi Whakatika]**

Kāore he awa hohonu rawa, kāore he pō roa rawa,  
Ki tōu taha, kei reira ahau.  
Pēnei i te rā e kanikani ana i te moana,  
Ka whakaatu koe i te pai o ahau.

Na, hopukia tōku ringa, kaua e tuku,  
He mano moemoeā kei a tātou ki te whakatipu.  
Ā, ka tīmata te rangi ki te tākaro,  
E mōhio ana koe he aha taku e kī ai!

**[Chorus — Hononga Kanikani Aroha Kore Whakahē]**

Rūrū, rūrū, e taku aroha, e taku wahine!  
Nekeneke tō menemene, ka pōrangi ahau!

Ki te mauī, ki te katau,  
Pokia ahau ka kanikani i te pō katoa!

Aroha! Aroha!  
Ka kanikani tōku manawa i ia rā!

Aue, taku whāinga,  
Ko koe te rangi reka!

Haere mai ki Sweefin, e taku tau,  
Tuhia tā tātou kōrero, koe me au!

Aroha me te kororia, taha ki te taha,  
Ko koe taku koa, taku manawa, taku whakapehapeha!

**[Post-Chorus — Karanga Kanikani]**

Hei! Hei! Rūrū mai ki ahau!
