about

This new Reggaeton waiata (song) from Huia ‘Marama La Luna’ (Moon Moon) was scribed when the blood moon eclipse was over Aotearoa. The song is both soothing and mysterious, dark but super starry and sparkly as well! Produced by Huia, with music additions from Rei and polished to perfection by Chris Chetland at Kog Studio, ‘Marama La Luna’ is beautifully produced, uplifting and has a fresh sound.

One of the reasons your ears might catch the new world vibe is that it includes 4 languages - te reo Māori (Aoteaoroa/NZ), NZ english and samples in Spanish and Italian which are all part of Huia’s whakapapa (lineage). The lyrics speak of how the moon can bring memories flooding back, how she can give comfort over the ages to all who gaze at her beauty. This is the start of a new world sound for summer touring as Huia has played at festivals such as Splore and RnV to name a few.

lyrics

Marama - La Luna
Huia

Intro
When I sing to te marama (moon)
When I sing to la luna (spanish moon)
Ka waiata au ki te marama (I will sing to the moon)
When I sing to La Luna (moon) (spanish)

V1
Kāore au i te mokemoke x 2 (I am not lonely)
Kei raro i tō whiti, kei raro i tō whiti (Under your shine, under the shine)
Ko Hiwa-i-te-rangi au x 2 (I am Hiwa-i-te-rangi)
Kei raro i tō whiti (Under your shine)
I feel you glow

CH
When I sing to te marama (moon)
When I sing to la luna (spanish moon)
Ka waiata au ki te marama (I will sing to the moon)
When I sing to La Luna (moon) (spanish)

V2
Karanga mai, karanga mai taku tau (Call to me, call to me my beloved)
Kei te mārama tō kōrero (You’re speaking has clarity)
Kei te mārama tō wairua (Your spirit has clarity)
Ko Matariki au x 2 (I am Matariki)
Kei raro i tō whiti (Under your shine)
Now the world knows x 2

BR
Ka rere mai te whakaora x 2 (echo) (Now the healing comes)
CH x 2 (end)
