KUPU/ LYRICS:
Whiti mai, ko te uranga o te rā
I know a place where the sun begins
Tērā te ō whaitua, te puna o te ora
Starts each day with a face full of good living
Hutia te aho kanoi o te moana
Ka tū au, ka tū au!
Throw a line from the sea and reels me in
And I stay, there I stay
Tai timu, tai pari, Tai ngaruru
People know what it means when the tide is in
Kauria atu rā, ka mānu, ka tau
It’s the best place to learn how to sink or swim
Kapakapa ana ko taku manawa
(ko) te puna o te ora
Throw a line to my heart and reel me in
This is good living
E hina e, Tiaho iho rā!
I wanna be under an east coast moon
Waiatatia rā
Humming a familiar tune
Tiaho iho rā
Under an east coast moon
Tū mokemoke nei au
I can handle solitude
Ka muri (aroha) noa, tirama mai, ko Hina i te pō e
But I’d rather be underneath an east Coast moon with you
Ngā ramaroa! Te Moana! He tohu nā te aroha
Ka whakamau te wairua ka hoki, ka hoki atu rā
All the lights reflections are a ripple of the love we share. And all my life’s intentions see to lead me back there
Tiaho iho rā
Under an East Coast Moon
(Ka) waiatatia rā
Humming a familiar tune
Tiaho iho rā
Under my East Coast Moon
He Nāti he Touti (rāwhiti)
With a Coastie attitude
Tiaho iho rā
Under an East Coast moon
Tū mokemoke nei au
I can handle solitude
Ka muri (aroha) noa, tiaho mai
But I’d rather be underneath
Maharahara ana
Savouring the memories
Puritia, kei memeha atu rā.....aaaa
Holding on to what we used to be
Whiti mai, ko te uranga o te rā
I know a place where the sun begins
