Te Manu Pukarua
(Fishng Chant)
- by Eddie Lund
Te manu Pukarua
E rua puka manu
Te manu Pukarua
E rua puka manu
Te manu pukarua e
E rua puka manu e
Hata pou pou pou
Te tere mai te vaa nei
Hata pou pou pou
Te tere mai te vaa nei
Hata pou
Te tere mai te vaa nei
Te manu pukarua
That bird of Pukarua
Te manu pukarua
That bird of Pukarua
He knows where fishing's good today
He shows the way where fishes play
Here I go go go
Paddling along in my canoe
Going ho ho home
Back to my coco trees and you
Here I go
Back to my coco trees and you
