Tauhou



Kei kōnei au, kei kōnei ahau

 

The silvereye

led me to a stream

Told his friends watch over me

He said let’s talk

About the way you walk

About what’s been happening

 

Sometimes the wind of the storm takes us somewhere we don’t wanna go

(Kei kōnei au kei kōnei ahau)

If it’s paradise on the other side we don’t wanna know

Breathe in breathe out (Kei kōnei au kei kōnei ahau)

The sun is shining on your face on the other side

 

I tried to hide

my world inside

of what’s been happening

He said let’s talk

about the way you walk

Don’t hide at all from me

You never asked for any of this but here I am

 

On the other side 

You never asked for any of this but here I am


 

Tauhou - a translation

I am here, I am here
