E ai ta te tangata – Daniel Santacruz
No te mea he kopere na koe i runga i titiro ina korero ahau o te aroha
no te mea kore mōhio ahau, ano he inanahi
korero mai ki ahau he aha e kore koutou e whiwhi hae ki te kanikani ahau ki tetahi atu
he bachata te tango o Gardel ranei, e kore tamata ahau whakaaro
Aha e mea te iwi, tenei na rerekē
e kore ahau…
Aha e mea te iwi, tenei hinu awhiowhio
mo koutou kiri…
ta ia iwi kanikani
iwi e ite
Lolita me te matua keke ka mea Vicente
koutou, e koutou kore e hiahia ana ahau
No te mea e ahau kore aua kanohi ra mahana
no te mea mamae te reira i to koutou pānui ataata
korero mai ki ahau he aha koe e kore te tiki io ki te tou mangai Roso
Ko reira e reira e kore hiahia i roto i to koutou kiri
Aha e mea te iwi, tenei na rerekē
e kore ahau…
Aha e mea te iwi, tenei hinu awhiowhio
mo koutou kiri…
ta ia iwi kanikani
iwi e ite
ka mea ahau Lolita, ko Uncle Vicente
koutou, e koutou kore e hiahia ana ahau
ta ia iwi kanikani
iwi e ite
mea ahau Lolita, ko Uncle Vicente
koutou, e koutou kore e hiahia ana ahau (x2)
