Aroha Mai by Rei

Rei - Aroha Mai
Lyrics / Kupu

Chorus

Aroha mai (Love received)
Aroha atu (Love returned)
All that you give to me
I’ll give back to you


Verse 1

When I was a younger man
All I thought about was what I could get
But I been through some changes now
I’m more about what I can give
Sometimes we gotta lose your way
Just to know where our path is
Wanna find our light
Then gotta go through the darkness
Homai rā (give me)
tō ringa (your hand)
‘cause we’re stronger together

Pre Chorus

I know that time don’t wait
For no one at all
But I think we’ll find our pace
If we just carry on

Chorus

Aroha mai (Love received)
Aroha atu (Love returned)
All that you give to me
I’ll give back to you
Aroha mai (Love received)
Aroha atu (Love returned)
And if you stay with me
I’ll stay right here with you

Post Chorus

Aroha mai (Love received)
Aroha atu (Love returned)
Mō āke tonu (forever more)

Verse 2

Kei pau tō koiora (your life could be consumed)
I te raparapa oranga (with searching for wellbeing)
Kei a koe kē te mauri (But you are the source of your own vitality)
Kei a koe kē te koa (And the key to your own happiness)

Pre Chorus

E kore e taea te aukati wā (We can’t stop)
he tai rere (the flowing tide of time)
Me kau tāua (But we can swim it)
Kia rewa i te ara (Floating together on our journey)

Chorus

Aroha mai (Love received)
Aroha atu (Love returned)
All that you give to me
I’ll give back to you
Aroha mai (Love received)
Aroha atu (Love returned)
And if you stay with me
I’ll stay right here with you

Post Chorus

Aroha mai (Love received)
Aroha atu (Love returned)
Mō āke tonu forever
Aroha mai (Love received)
Aroha atu (Love returned)
Mō āke tonu (forever more)
