Ruahatu Lyrics

E ua kite au i te ahi
E ua kite au i te nohi

Ruahatu e

E ua kite au i te tagata
E ua kite au i te gaike

Ruahatu e

E ua kite au i te kaha
E ua kite au i te vahine-tetē (water nymph ; an unclothed nature spirit of water)

Ruahatu e

E ua kite au i tona kaēfa
E ua kite au i te fetika

Ruahatu e - Tika noa nei

E ua kite au i tona rima
E ua kite au i te kamo

Ruahatu e

E ua kite au e kahu kore
E ua kite au ia koe

Ruahatu e - Tika noa nei
Ruahatu e - Tika noa nei


RUAHATU (God of oceans)

And I saw the fire
And I saw the eye

Ruahatu e

And I saw the Man
And I saw the dog

Ruahatu e

And I saw the crotch
And I saw the Vahine-tetē (water nymph ; an unclothed nature spirit of water)

Ruahatu e

And I saw her companion
And I saw the star

Ruahatu e - Standing there

And I saw its hand
And I saw lightnings

Ruahatu e

And I saw the unclothed
And I saw you

Ruahatu e - Standing there
Ruahatu e - Standing there
