Whai

Why weren’t you honest?

Telling me this and telling me that

I would have

Appreciated

If you just told me the truth

But You kept me in the dark

Mhm, That broke my heart

Now I have to wake up

He ngaru teitei

He moana pukepuke

Eke Tangaroa 

Eke Tangaroa 

He maunga teitei 

He ara pukepuke 

Eke panuku 

Eke panuku

He aha ai rā

I tuapeka, kōrero teka

Kei hea

Te matatika

Me te kōrero pono

I mahue ki te pō

Auē, te ngaukino

Ka ara mai ahau 

You lied to me

Left me at sea

You did me wrong

But I moved on

And somehow

Here and now

You’re welcome here

Cause I still care

Listen

Stingray - a translation

Lofty waves

Hilly (rough) seas

Overcome/Succeed

Overcome/Succeed

A lofty mountain

A hilly path

Overcome/Succeed

Overcome/Succeed

Why

Did you lie?

Where

Is the honesty

And the truth?

Left in the dark

A broken heart

Then I wake up
