Tarakihi

Hey, slap to be even
Hey, to be even is to be even
Hey, step gently
Hey, turn outside
Come back

I listen
To the cry
Of this bird,

Of the tarakihi,
In the loneliness
of the night

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

Tremble of the earth, sway, sway
Tremble of the earth, sway, sway

Follow behind
Bend down
Hey! Hey! Ha!
