about

‘Kei tua o te kite’ - ‘Read Between the Lines’.

Listen with care when people communicate with you. Some people talk straight but often you need to read

between the lines to see the speakers true intention

lyrics

Kei tua o te Kite (NZ Maori, scroll down for English!)

Intro Ch
He kōrero nui mōu e Tā

He kōrero nui mōu e Kō

He aha rā hei kitenga

Kei tua o taku kite,

He aha rā hei kitenga?

V1
He waikamo taimana

E rutu iho ana

He tika nei?

Ko tāu rānei he tinihanga mai?

E mea ana koe he heahea ahau

Ch
He kōrero nui mōu e Tā

Kei tua o te kite

He kōrero nui mōu e Kō

Kei tua o te kite

He aha rā hei kitenga?

Kei tua o taku kite

He aha rā hei kitenga?

V2
Tō mene mai, he papai

Kei ō whatu kē te kī

Ō tukituki, ō mamae nui

Me noho me kōrero i te aroha,

Te pono me te mahaki

Ch

3. Between the Lines

Intro Ch
You got a long story my brother

You got a long story my sister

Who knows what I’ll find

When I read between the lines

Who knows what you’ll find?

V1
Tears, your diamonds

Fall at your feet

Are they real?

Or are you trying to pull one over me?

What kinds fool you think I am??

Ch
You got a long story my brother

When you read between the lines

You got a long story my sister

If you read between the lines

Who knows what I’ll find

When I read between the lines

Who knows what you’ll find

V2
Your smile, is perfect

But your eyes speak to me

Your conflicted, your soul hurts

Sit and share with me, in love,

In trust in humility!

Ch
