Kiri Te Kanawa

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!

- - -

Clap in unison
In unison, in unison
Stamp your feet smoothly,
Hands outstretched,
Then back.

I listen
To the cry
Of this flying creature,

Of the cicada,
In the middle
of the night

[cicada noises]

quivering rear end, whirring, whirring
Quivering rear end, whirring, whirring

Knees bent!
Hips swaying!
Ei! Ei! Ha!
