get up stand up let your feelings be known
the time has come to perform the dance
get up stand up let your intentions be known
swaying ever so sweetly the message in the dance
Oh! Oh!
the boys are very bold
Oh! Oh!
the girls are very bold
aue aue Oh! Oh!
the dancers are very bold
Oh! Oh!
Watch me now, it's my turn to show
"How is the fishing with you, how is it?" (Girl)
"The fish that I truly long for" (Boy)
"How is the fishing with you, how is it? (Girl)
CHORUS
dance on up, dance just like that
dancing ever so sweetly to the Pate Pate (logdrum)
chant: dance on up, dance on down
Dancing ever so sweetly to the rhythms of the log drum

Te Vaka was the best performance I have ever been to. I saw them at WOMAD in Seattle WA USA. It was the only concert I have been to that they cut the power to when the crowd was so into it!
