Translation of the song lyrics Moemoeā - Stan Walker, Seth Haapu

Moemoeā (original)

Here kore a roto
Here kore a waho
Hopukina te ua i o kapu ringa
Pakanga o mua
Tukuna, ka ngaro
Puritia taku ringa
Ngaro ana te ara ki pae rau
Moe moe moemoeā
E kore rawa e riro
Maruāpō
He arai e te ao
U mai, nau mai
He kaupare i ataahua
E kore e ae tu

Moemoeā (translation)

Here no inside
Here not outside
Catch the rain in your palms
Pre -war
Give up and lose
Hold my hand
Lost path to leaf site
Dreamy sleep
It will never be won
Maruāpō
There is a veil by the world
Welcome, welcome
It was a beautiful barrier
It doesn't stand still
