11 Ka Pioioi + chords




Ka pioioi e tohu aroha haukāinga
This swaying dance shows the love of your home-town people.
E hoki mai rā Kia kite atu i tō iwi e.
You've come back home, to see your people.
E rotarota ana E katakata ana mai rā.
There is gesturing and laughing with joy at your return,
Pūkana whetero mai I te ihi ā ō mātua.
Eyes popping and tongues thrusting from the energy of those performing.
Kia kite atu ano i tō ataahua ai panapana
I see again your beauty gleaming there caressed by the wind,
Pupuhi ai e te hau Kapohia āku roimata.

and my tears are snatched away.
Ka pioioi e tohu aroha haukāinga. 2x
This fluttering dance shows your home-town people's love.
Hi aua Hi!!
