Tēnā anō tātou! I'm back with another Māori Kpop cover that I'm so nervous but excited to share with you.

I'm overwhelmed by the support of my last video, by whānau, friends and fans of kpop from across Aotearoa. Thank you! It's been three months since that video, and so much has happened and changed, for a lot of us I imagine. But through those ups and downs we come out stronger and more grateful of the blessings we have, so kia kaha Aotearoa.

No further intro, I'll get on to the lyrics of this waiata by the insanely talented MAMAMOO, and a vow from me to not leave another 3 months before the next video. Leave your comments, any requests, any questions, I love reading them!

Ngā kupu :
Ka tau te aio i runga i a tāua
E noho noa ki tēnei ao moemoeā
Tēnā koa kaua rawa tēnei aroha e ngaro
Ka tō te rā, ka karanga te pō

Kei ngā pō atarau, Rākaunui, ka tiahō
Hurihuri noa tāua
Hei aha te apōpō

Kei taku kiri tonu
Tō tīare, kei ware noa
Kihai i roa
ko koe anake
kei te hirikapo

Tēnā whakamahea
Tēnei aroaroā

Starry night, e tīrama ana
Tauawhi tāua
Ngau ana
Ki rō ao moemoeā
Tūhura mai tō aroha
Whetū pīatata x 3

Manawarū ana i tō aroha noa
Whakakīa te wairua, kia koa
Ahakoa ka tawhiti,
Ka whiti mai he rā anō
Ko koe tonu kei taku mahara

Ko Hina kei runga, ka tau ai te moana
Hurihuri noa tāua
Hei aha te apōpō

I te mutunga iho,
Tēnei kōingoingo
He mea tē taea te waiho
Ka titia ki taku uma

Tēnā whakamahea
Tēnei aroaroā

Starry night, e tīrama ana
Tauawhi tāua
Ngau ana
Ki rō ao moemoeā
Tūhura mai tō aroha
Whetū pīatata x 3

Starry starry night, tōku kotahi nei
Kei mate ahau

He kohu ka rewa runga rawa
Ka ngaro atu te tirohanga
Ko koe anake e kitea

Leave me alone
E auheke nei

Starry night, e tīrama ana
Tauawhi tāua
Ngau ana
Ki rō ao moemoeā
Tūhura mai tō aroha
Whetū pīatata x 3

Lyrics :
Peace falls upon us
Dwelling in this dreamland
Please don’t let this love be lost
The sun sets and the night calls

On moonlit nights, beneath a full moon, shining all around us
Who cares about tomorrow

Your scent lingers on my skin,
I don’t want to forget
It wasn’t long
Now you’re all
I think about

Please clear away
This loneliness

Starry night, shiny and shimmering
We stay in this embrace
Wandering
In a dream world
Uncover your love to me
Like bright stars x 3

I’m fascinated by your endless love
Fill my spirit and soul, with happiness
Even if we’re apart
Another day will always dawn
You’re always on my mind

The moon above, who calms the ocean
That surrounds us
Who cares about tomorrow

The bottom line is that
What i feel for you
Is something i can’t ignore
I’ll wear it proudly (literally: I’ll adorn it on my chest)

Please clear away
This loneliness

Starry night, shiny and shimmering
We stay in this embrace
Wandering
in a dream world
Uncover your love to me
Like bright stars x 3

Starry starry night, here on my own
Lest I’m overcome

Fog that’s rising higher
I’m losing all sight
But you’re all i can see

Leave me alone
I yield

Starry night, shiny and shimmering
We stay in this embrace
Wandering
In a dream world
Uncover your love to me
Like bright stars x 3
