Dieser Song ist Bestandteil meiner "Musical World Journey" This song is part of my "Musical World Journey" https://suno.com/playlist/78e8acad-63db-47d0-a506-5885b09bcf45 ---------------------------------------------------- [Intro] (16 bars: acoustic skank guitar, warm bass, soft reggae drums, kōauau flute, ocean ambience, mixed hums.) [Verse 1 – Male Lead] Morning on the water, Mist on the bay, Mountain wind calling, Calling my name. Feet on the whenua, Heart in the tide, Old roads behind me, You by my side. [Background – Mixed Māori] Haere mai, haere mai, Aroha mai rā. [Verse 2 – Male Lead] Wind through the mānuka, Rain on the stone, Every horizon Says I’m not alone. Songs in the valley, Fire in the rain, Te reo rising Again and again. [Background – Mixed Māori] Kia kaha, kia māia, Waiata mai rā. [Chorus – Male Lead + Mixed Background] Carry me home, Aotearoa, Over the waves, Under the sun. Hold me close, Aroha, aroha, One heart, one road, We are one. Carry me home, Aotearoa, Over the waves, Under the sun. Hold me close, Aroha, aroha, One heart, one road, We are one. [Instrumental Break] (16 bars: reggae-folk groove, ukulele, clean electric offbeats, bass melody, kōauau flute answers the chorus.) [Verse 3 – Male Lead] Down by the harbour, Lanterns glow bright, Kids on the corner Dance through the night. Salt on my jacket, Sun on my face, Every old sorrow Learns a new name. [Background – Mixed Māori] Aue, aue, Aroha e. [Verse 4 – Male Lead] Light up the evening, Open the door, We are the children Of sea and shore. Hands to the heavens, Feet on the ground, When we sing together, Home is the sound. [Background – Mixed Māori] Kotahi te ngākau, Kotahi te ara. [Chorus – Male Lead + Mixed Background] Carry me home, Aotearoa, Over the waves, Under the sun. Hold me close, Aroha, aroha, One heart, one road, We are one. Carry me home, Aotearoa, Over the waves, Under the sun. Hold me close, Aroha, aroha, One heart, one road, We are one. [Bridge] (Drums drop out, bass pulse, soft choir, kōauau flute.) [Male Lead] When the night gets heavy, I hear the sea. When the road gets lonely, You walk with me. [Background – Mixed Māori] Whakarongo mai, Aroha mai rā. [Male Lead] From the north wind To the southern flame, Every mountain Knows my name. [Background – Mixed Māori, building] Haere mai, Hoki mai, Waiata mai, Aotearoa e. [Final Chorus – Male Lead + Mixed Background] Carry me home, Aotearoa, Over the waves, Under the sun. Hold me close, Aroha, aroha, One heart, one road, We are one. Carry me home, Aotearoa, Over the waves, Under the sun. Hold me close, Aroha, aroha, One heart, one road, We are one. [Outro] (12 bars: full band softens, choir repeats “Aroha e”, kōauau flute fades.) [Male Lead] Carry me home, Through rain and sun. [Background – Mixed Māori] Aotearoa… [All] Aroha, aroha, We are one. [All – soft final line] Aotearoa, carry me home.
