www.lorde.co.nz/sign-up He oha nÄ Hiwa ka takoto i te mataaho
Hiwa, the wishing starās gift lies at my window sill
MÅ te tÅ«pono i hÄ te ara i whÄia
In case I chose the wrong path
E arohaina ana te ao e noho nei au
I love the life Iām living
Te kurī taringa pīkari, kei te rapu tonu i te mea ngaro
Thereās my attentive dog but still I search for what is missing
Kua roa e takahia ana tÄnei huarahi
Iāve been on this path for some time
Atu i konei, ki hea atu rÄ?
Iāve yet to decide where to from here
Ko ngÄ hine rerehua, ka rerehu noa atu
The beautiful girls, they will fade
Ko te ao hurihuri tÄnei e huri ana
And the world will continue to turn
E aua!
I don't know
Kohore ana pea aku mata
Maybe Iām just blurry-eyed
Kohore ana pea aku mata (mata)
Maybe Iām just blurry-eyed
Takoto kau i tÅ moenga, he whakakai i te taringa
I lay naked in your bed, wearing only earrings
Puta ana i te pÅ, kanikani tahi ai
Weād go out dancing at night
Ka mahuta te rÄ, kua tata mai te ahungarua
The sun will rise and weāll grow older
Ko koe tonu tÄrÄ taku whakawairangi
Youāre still the one Iām crazy for
Kua roa e takahia ana tÄnei huarahi
Iāve been on this path for some time
Atu i konei, ki hea atu rÄ?
Iāve yet to decide where to from here
He wÄ tÅna ka rata koe ki puoro kÄ atu
There will come a time when your taste in music will change
Ko te ao hurihuri tÄnei e huri ana
But the world will continue to turn
E aua!
I don't know
Kohore
Blurry-eyed
Kohore ana pea aku mata (mata)
Maybe Iām just blurry-eyed
Kia pai mai rÄ
Oh, make it good
Kia pai mai rÄ
Oh, make it good
TaiÄwhio ana i te ao hurihuri mÅ Äke tonu e
Circling round and round forever
Atu i konei, he aha te aha
From here on out, wherever that leads to
Noho atu ki te hunga nÄ rÄtou koe i poipoi
Spend time with the people who nurtured you
Ko te ao hurihuri tÄnei e huri ana
The word will continue to turn
E aua!
I donāt know
Kohore ana pea aku mata
Maybe Iām just blurry-eyed
Kohore ana pea aku mata (mata)
Maybe Iām just blurry-eyed

Is this the Maori language??? What a beautiful language!!!!!! And good of Lorde to appreciate native cultures and actually help raise funds for the causes she says she cares about. Somehow, this version is even more serene than the English one
