14 Feb - 17 Feb 2011

Well this week was another fantastic week, the sun is starting to set later and we have finished filming the LipDub, we will post it soon.

This week in classes we learnt the song E Papa... have a listen at : E Papa (with lyrics to sing along!)

Below is the translation from Maori to English:

E hine, hoki mai ra.            

1. E papā Waiari, 
Taku nei mahi 
Taku nei mahi,
He tuku roimata 
Chorus: 
Ē aue, ka mate au;
E hine hoki mai rā 
Ē aue, ka mate au;
E hine hoki mai rā 
2. Māku e kaute
Ō hīkoitanga 
Māku e kaute 
Ō hīkoitanga
Chorus:


Oh darling, come back to me.
1. O Uncle Waiari, 
All I've been doing
All I've been doing
Is shedding tears
Chorus: 
Alas I will die; 
Oh darling, return to me 
Alas I will die; 
Oh darling, return to me 
 2. I will count 
Your footsteps 
I will count
Your footsteps
Chorus:
