about

Ngākau Ruwha - a waiata about mental health, keeping check of oneself and having a look inside your book, your Ngākau ruwha/worn heart and history. Being in that space is beautiful.

lyrics

NGĀKAU RUWHA

V1
Whakamaua

Ko tāku titiro,

Ki te rerenga o te ra x 2

Ki roto ki tenei...

CH
Ngākau ruwha ruwha ruwha

Ki tēnei ngākau ruwha ruwha

Tēnei ngākau

Ki tēnei ngākau ruwha ruwha

V2
Ka noho nei, hei aha te raru o te tangata

I tēnei wā, e tau ana au i taku kaupapa

Hā waho i te wehi, hā roto i te aroha

Ko au anake, hurihuri te ao

Pre CH

Ngā mihi ki a koe, e pairi ana (ki ahau, hei aha te pono)

Ina pēnei au, kua tuhi kōrero, mō ōku pūmahara, ki roto ki tēnei
- CH

Pre CH - i te morimori o te pō, e pairi ana (ki ahau, hei aha te pono)

Ina pēnei au, kua tuhi korero, mō ōku pūmahara ki roto ki tēnei

CH
