I eat, sleep, drink this song!! I need it to function and yet I don't even know what she's saying or in which language it is sung. That's when you know you're listening to great music. ☺️❤️

Lyrics:
Oho moatā
I te rāngo na o to karanga
Patupatu ana te manawā
Te kitenga ia koe, e mene mai anā
Newanewā,
Wai tuku kirī
He tāonga tuku ihõ
Kei te tipu koe
Kei te puawaī
He putiputi ataahuā
Ataahuā
Ko koe te rerengā
Õ tõku manawā
He aroha mutunga kore
He puna waiorā
No ngā tipuna
E kore, e mimīti noā
E kore, e mimīti noā
Akona māi rā
Nga tikangā koro kui ma
Tiākina hei taonga, mo ākē tonū
Maumahara
Kõ wai koē
Ko whea koē
Kei te tipu koe
Kei te puawaī
He putiputi ataahuā
Ataahuā
Ko koe te rerengā
Õ tõku manawā
He aroha mutunga kore
He puna waiorā
No ngā tipuna
E kore, e mimīti noā
E kore, e mimīti noā
-don't credit me :)
