about

‘Tere Tuarangi’ – Cosmic Drift

Appreciate Papatuanuku as we have no space ships to jump on and no planets to go to! This waiata is about

humans ridiculous need to ‘go to space’ to solve the pollution issue, rather than address it now.

lyrics

Tere Tuarangi - (NZ Maori - Scroll down for English!)

V1
Kei te ātea, hei tere tuarangi

Me whai kāinga hou, tōku ao he māuiui

Te para, te para, te para mangu, kua māturu

Whakaekea, tōku waka ātea

Br
Ko te mātao nei, i tōku kotahi

Tirohia Papa, koia te kāings

Nā te apo nui ia i paitini

Kia toru, rua, tahi ki te tuarangi

Ch
Hei tere tuarangi , tōku ao he māuiui

Kua māturu

V2
Tōna ātaahua

Ōrangi, māota, konukura, kōura

Tōna ātaahua

Urutapu, kore taea e koe te mau... kore

Outro
Hei tere tuarangi, tōku ao he māuiui

Kua māturu

Kei te ātea hei tere tuarangi

Me whai kāinga hou, tōku ao he māuiui

Tōku ao he māuiui

Pau noa mō ake...

2. Cosmic Drift

V1
Out in Space, on a cosmic drift

Searching for a new home, my planets sick

The black, the black, the oily black, has begun to drip

So all aboard, my rocket ship

Br
It’s cold out here, I’m all alone

Looking back at earth, she was our home

But the greed in us, Poisoned her soul

So 3,2,1 into space we go

Ch
On a cosmic drift, my planets Sick

Has begun to drip

V2
She was so beautiful

Aqua and green, copper and gold

She was so beautiful

With a purity you never could behold

Outro
On a cosmic drift, my planets sick

Has begun to drip

Out in space on a cosmic drift

Searching for a new home, my planets sick

My planets sick

Shes gone forever…
