LYRICS + TRANSLATIONS

Korihi

Kihi mai i raro i te Pōhutukawa - kiss me underneath the Pōhutukawa
Awhi mai kia manahau i tōku manawa - embrace me and my heart will be full
Me piri tahi tāua tae noa ki te takanga raupua - let’s hold each other until the petals fall
Kihi mai i raro i te pōhutukawa - kiss me underneath the Pōhutukawa

Verse 1

Ka huri tō pāpāringa ki te tae o te putiputi - your cheeks turn the same colour as the flowers
Ka mākū haere ō ngutu, te kōmanawa o raumati - your lips moisten, the spring of summer
Kei te wera ake koe i te onepū - you’re hotter than the sand
Kei te oma ki tō moana kei pāhunu - I run to your ocean so I don’t burn
Ko tō paruhi nā kia whakawhiti te rā - your beauty brings the sunshine
Tīoi ki ahau - Sway with me..

Pre Korihi

Ko koe anahe kei te ngākau - you’re the only one in my heart
Ko tāua anahe i raro i te rākau - we’re the only ones under the tree
E ipo - my lover

Korihi

Kihi mai i raro i te Pōhutukawa - kiss me underneath the Pōhutukawa
Awhi mai kia manahau i tōku manawa - embrace me and my heart will be full
Me piri tahi tāua tae noa ki te takanga raupua - let’s hold each other until the petals fall
Kihi mai i raro i te pōhutukawa - kiss me underneath the Pōhutukawa

Verse 2

Kāore ahau i te hiahia i a Hana Kōkō - I don’t need no Santa Claus
Kāore ahau i te hiahia i te moni e kō - I don’t need no money girl
Kāore ahau i te hiahia i ērā atu momo - I don’t need any of that stuff
Ko koe noa iho taku tūmanako - you are my only wish

Pre Korihi

Ko koe anahe kei te ngākau - you’re the only one in my heart
Ko tāua anahe i raro i te rākau - we’re the only ones under the tree
E ipo - my lover

Korihi

Kihi mai i raro i te Pōhutukawa - kiss me underneath the Pōhutukawa
Awhi mai kia manahau i tōku manawa - embrace me and my heart will be full
Me piri tahi tāua tae noa ki te takanga raupua - let’s hold each other until the petals fall
Kihi mai i raro i te pōhutukawa - kiss me underneath the Pōhutukawa

Piriti

Ka māwhe haere te tae o ngā puaka katoa - the flowers will fade
Ka mau tonu ōku whīra mōu, whakapiri mai rā e - but my feelings for you won't change, so stick with me

Korihi

Kihi mai i raro i te Pōhutukawa - kiss me underneath the Pōhutukawa
Awhi mai kia manahau i tōku manawa - embrace me and my heart will be full
Me piri tahi tāua tae noa ki te takanga raupua - let’s hold each other until the petals fall
Kihi mai i raro i te pōhutukawa - kiss me underneath the Pōhutukawa
Pōhutukawa
Pōhutukawa
Pōhutukawa
Pōhutukawa
