Lyrics of Medley - Tanga Tika / Toerau - The Kingston Trio

Medley - Tanga Tika / Toerau (original)

Tagni tikake au taku vahine
tera tei raro tonga ra Aue
tagni tagni tikake aue.
Na mama naka higna aro na Papa naka fa’a tupu
Na mama e nake tatara e.
Tagni tikake au Taku vahine
tera tei raro tonga ra Aue tagni tagni tikake aue.

(translation)

I really miss my wife
that which is at the bottom of the south Alas
tagni tagni tikake aue.
Mom and Dad took care of it
Mom just explained that.
My wife is right
that which is at the bottom of the south Aue tagni tagni tikake aue.
