Tai Aroha
Ko te aroha anō he wai
E pupū ake ana
He awa e māpuna mai ana
I roto i te whatumanawa (x2)
Ko tōna mātāpuna he hōhonu
Ā inā ia ka rere anō (x2)
He tai timu
He tai pari
He tai ope
He tai roa
He tai nui
My love is like water
continually bubbling up
a spring that will keep flowing
from within your soul.
Its source is deep within
it has a soothing effect
an ebb tide
an incoming tide
a forceful tide
a long-lasting tide
a full tide.
