Ko Te Moana (inspired by Te reo Māori )

[Intro | distant ocean, soft breath, low atmospheric drone] E te moana... E te moana... Whakarongo... Whakarongo... [Verse 1 | intimate female vocal] Ka karanga mai te moana I roto i te hau Ka rongo ahau i tō reo Mai i tawhiti mai Ka rere ngā ngaru Ka hoki ki uta Ka kawe mai i te maumahara Ka horoi i te mamae [Pre-Chorus | gentle harmonic lift] E te moana E te whaea Puritia ahau I tō manawa Kia tau taku wairua Kia mārie taku ngākau Ka tuku au Ka tuku au [Chorus | expansive, emotional] Ko te moana Ko te ora Ko te moana Ko te manawa Ka rere Ka hoki Ka ora anō ahau Ko te moana Ko te aroha Ko te moana Ko te māramatanga Ka tuku au i aku taumaha Ki ngā ngaru o te pō [Instrumental | ocean, breath textures, deep pulse] [Verse 2 | softer, reflective] I raro i te wai Kei te moe ngā kōrero Ngā ingoa kua ngaro Ngā aroha kua mahue Engari kāore koe e wareware Ka mau tonu ngā mea I roto i te hohonutanga O tō wairua [Pre-Chorus] E te moana E te whaea Puritia ahau I tō manawa Kia tau taku wairua Kia mārie taku ngākau Ka tuku au Ka tuku au [Bridge | whispered, slowly rising] Waiata mai E te moana Waiata mai mōku Mēnā kua ngaro ahau Aratakina ahau Ki te kāinga Ka tuku au i te mamae
