Lyrics:

E papa waiari
E auē i auē
Ka mate ahau
E hine hoki mai rā

E hine

Verse 1

I could look for a thousand years I wouldn’t find noone like you
So I aint tryna mess this up I’ll stick with you like glue
Sometimes you gotta feel the rain so you can heal the pain and fight through
And see the sky blue (E hine)
You can’t tell me love’s perfect
But I’ll do the work you deserve it
Sometimes something real comes around
Call her Loreal cuz she worth it
So don’t judge me on my actions
Judge me on my intentions
And let’s turn these losses into lessons

Pre Hook
(ko taku)
Ko taku mahi
He tatari
Inā te wā roroa
Taku aroha mōu
Mō āke tonu
(Arā) tāua, tāua ka koa, i...e

Chorus

I auē i auē (aue)
Ka mate ahau
E hine hoki mai rā

Verse 2
What else I gotta do to show you
That you the only one that I go to
Cheating’s something that I don’t do
Leaving’s something that I won’t do
Girl I need you like o2
Just saying no Goku
And I dont need a hall pass I told you
I know which door I wanna go through (e hine)
Cuz we laugh together like best friends
Sex like camping it’s intense
Chats good and your backs good
We light backwoods like it’s incense
I don’t need you to scold me
I just need you to hold me
And to understand the new me’s not the old me

Pre Hook
(ko taku)
Ko taku mahi
He tatari
Inā te wā roroa
Taku aroha mōu
Mō āke tonu
(Arā) tāua, tāua ka koa, i...e

Chorus

I auē i auē (aue)
Ka mate ahau (ahau)
E hine hoki mai rā (hoki mai rā)

Bridge
Come on come on come back to me girl
Hoki mai rā
Come on come on come back to me girl
Hoki mai rā
Come on come on come back to me
(Come back)
Come on come on come back to me
(Come back)
Come on come on come back to me girl
Hoki mai rā

Come on come on come back to me girl
Hoki mai rā
Come on come on come back to me girl
Hoki mai rā
Come on come on come back to me
(Come back)
Come on come on come back to me
(Come back)
Come on come on come on come on come on
Back to me aue

Chorus

I auē i auē (aue)
Ka mate ahau (ahau)
E hine (hine) hoki (hoki ) mai rā
(Hoki mai rā)
I auē i auē (aue)
Ka mate ahau (ooo)
E hine (hine) hoki (hoki ) mai rā
(Hoki mai rā)

Damn this just came out of nowhere. I was looking for the original Hoki mai and this came up lol. I'm not complaining

Just saw this on the edge tv and was impressed😁 i used to do kapa haka at school and have always had a fascination with anything that lights up or glows so this music video is awesome and blew my mind a bit its like star wars kapa haka lol and I really enjoyed the song too. And I'm nz European so I was the white girl in a group of maori girls doing kapa haka lol.
