# WIDELIGHT *Faka Kua Oka Iko.* **[INTRO — Bright African Guitar, Handclaps, Soft Female Vocal]** Oh-eh-oh! Ah-ya-ya! Oka tātā… Auta tātā… Tēnā te kāinga e whakanui! *(Percussion builds)* Whānui, whānui! WIDELIGHT! Katoa e whiti ana i te pō! *(Bass drops)* **[CHORUS — Immediate Afro-House Dance Hook]** Whānui, whānui, WIDELIGHT! Katoa e whiti ana i te pō! Hey-ya-ya! Hey-ya-yo! Tēnā whakatōkia te koa! Whānui, whānui, WIDELIGHT! Tāpirihia tō aroha ki ngā taha! Ringa ki runga! Waewae ki raro! WIDELIGHT! Tēnā whiti te ao katoa! **[VERSE 1 — Bouncy Afrobeats, Warm Highlife Guitar]** I reira he kākano i te pōuri, I reira he reo kāore e rangona. Kātahi ka piri mai he reo, Ka pā mai te ao i te kupu. I ngā pā e tū ana i waenganui i a mātou, I tēnei wā, ka hanga e mātou ngā piriti whānui. He moemoeā e tika ana ki te tomokanga, He wāhi mō te ngakau i roto. He pāpāho kei te tawhiti, He āhuatanga kei te rangi. Ka awhina i tētahi atu, Ka piki te tumanako e taea. Sweefin ka tuku ara hou ki te hono, Ki te hanga, ki te whakawhiti, ki te tipu. Ka nui te hunga e whai wāhi ana, Ka nui ngā mea ka taea e tātou katoa. **[PRE-CHORUS — Rising Female Harmonies]** Te pānui i te rōrahi i tō tinana, Te pūoro kei ngā waewae. Tangohia he hiko, ka kīa mai tētahi I roto i tēnei beat whakamiharo. Ka taea e ia ringa te hiki i te tahi atu, Ka taea e ia reo te waiata tahi. I te wā ka neke te ao katoa, Me waiho te whakanuia e haere tonu! **[CHORUS — Full Afro-House Dance Drop]** Whānui, whānui, WIDELIGHT! Katoa e whiti ana i te pō! Hey-ya-ya! Hey-ya-yo! Tēnā whakatōkia te koa! Whānui, whānui, WIDELIGHT! Tāpirihia tō aroha ki ngā taha! Ringa ki runga! Waewae ki raro! WIDELIGHT! Tēnā whiti te ao katoa! **[POST-CHORUS — Viral Dance Chant]** Maui! Maui! (Hey!) Māro! Māro! (Hey!) Pāwhiri i ō ringa, kia pai! Tū! Tū! (Hey!) Huri! Huri! (Hey!) Tēnā whakatōkia te koa! Whānui! (Hey!) Kua! (Hey!) Katoa e whiti ana i te pō! **[VERSE 2 — Female Lead, Rolling Amapiano Bass]** E mahi ana a Mama i te mākete, Me te moemoeā e whakapakari ana. E rapu ana a Papa i te wā mō te whānau, I muri i te mahi i te rā. He tamaiti e moemoeā ana ki te rererangi, He pāmu e whakatō ana i ngā kākano. He kaihanga kei te whakaaro bright, E hanga ana i ngā mea e hiahia ana te ao. Mai i te kāinga ki te tāone, Mai i ngā maunga ki te moana, He kōrero kei te tangata, He mana kei ia oranga. A, i te wā ka hokona e te tangata, ka whai hua, Ka ako, ka whakawhiti, Ka taea e mātou te hanga i te ao o ngā mōhio, Me te whai wāhi i ngā wā katoa. **[PRE-CHORUS — Choir Builds]** Te pānui i te rōrahi i tō tinana, Te pūoro kei ngā waewae. Tangohia he hiko, ka kīa mai tētahi I roto i tēnei beat whakamiharo. Ka taea e ia ringa te hiki i te tahi atu, Ka taea e ia reo te waiata tahi. I te wā ka neke te ao katoa, Me waiho te whakanuia e haere tonu! **[CHORUS — Full Amapiano Log-Drum Drop]** Whānui, whānui, WIDELIGHT! Katoa e whiti ana i te pō! Hey-ya-ya! Hey-ya-yo! Tēnā whakatōkia te koa! Whānui, whānui, WIDELIGHT! **[Verse]** Fariro e naku e naku! Dihai mo! Nai mo! WIDELIGHT! Iro e rahi ke! **[BRIDGE — Emotional Piano, Children's Choir]** Ena faiga e le mamoe O le aso e le lelei. Ena faiga e le tamāloa O le fanau e galue i se ala. Ena faiga e le fa'atau O le va'aiga e le va'aia. Ena faiga e le talavou O le fa'aogaina o se miti. O le malaga e iai ona fa'afitauli, O le ala e mafai ona ta'amilosaga. Ae o le lumana'i e fa'alautele A o le fa'atekinolosi e fesoasoani i se uo. O le fa'atekinolosi e le galo, Fa'amalie atu i se tagata fou. E iai se lalolagi e mafai A o le to'atele e ulufale. *(Music fades — gentle handclaps begin)* **[DANCE BREAK — Call-and-Response]** Lead: O ai e iai le la? Crowd: O le matou! O le matou! Lead: O ai e iai se miti? Crowd: O a'u foi! O a'u foi! Lead: O ai e mafai ona auai i le ta'a'iga? Crowd: O tagata uma! Lead: O le a le ta'u? Crowd: Fa'ata'ita'iga! *(Percussion builds)* Wide! Wide! Light! Light! O le fa'ava'e i le itu tauagavale! O le fa'ava'e i le itu taumatau! Ta'ia e fa'afa'ata'ita'iga! Fa'ava'e i le fa'ava'e! Wide, wide, WIDELIGHT! O tagata uma e pa'ia i le po! *(Extended Afro-House instrumental dance groove)* **[FINAL CHORUS — Festival Choir, Brass, Full Percussion]** Wide, wide, WIDELIGHT! O tagata uma e pa'ia i le po! Hey-ya-ya! Hey-ya-yo! Fa'amalie atu i le fiafia! Wide, wide, WIDELIGHT! Fariro e naku e naku! Dihai mo! Nai mo! WIDELIGHT! Iro e rahi ke! **[OUTRO — Warm Guitar, Choir, Fading Percussion]** Oh-eh-oh! Ah-ya-ya! Mai le fa'atau i le fa'atau, Mai le fa'ata'ita'iga i le tamaitiiti, E iai se lalolagi e mafai A o le faia le fa'ava'e lautele. Sweefin e aumaia auala e feso'ota'i, E fa'avae, e su'esu'e, ma e tupu. Wide! Wide! Light! Light! O le lalolagi e tasi. O le miti uma. WIDELIGHT! *(Final celebratory drum hit)*
