Kiri Te Kanawa – Tarakihi (The Locust) lyrics

E, pakia kia rite
E, ko te rito kia rite
E, takahia kia ngawari
E, torona kei waho
Hoki mai

E whakarongo ai au -
Ki te tangi mai
A te manu nei,

A te tarakihi,
I te weherua
Tanga O te po -

Tara ra-ta kita kita
Tara ra-ta kita kita

Wiri o papa towene towene
Wiri o papa towene towene

Hope whai-a-ke
Turi whatia
Ei! Ei! Ha!
