Waiata

Composed by: Walter Smith Beneath the Maori moon, On a silvery night in June, Where we told love sweet story, Beside the weeping willow tree Night birds are crooning, Their sweet and chanting melody, Where the roses bloom, There will be a wedding soon, Beside the southern sea, she's waiting there for me Neath the Maori moon. Ko te marama hou, E tiaho iho nei, Ka korero taua, raro i te rakau e, Tangi nga manu, te waiata aroha. Ara nga puawai, he marena akuanei, Kei te moana roa, e tatari ana koe, Te marama Maori. Recorded by All Black great George Nepia in England in 1936

Composed by: Pixie Williams Blue smoke goes drifting by, Into the deep blue sky, And when I think of home I sadly sigh. Oh I can see you there with loving tears in your eyes As we fondly say our last goodbyes. And as I sailed away with a longing to stay, I promise to be true and to love only you, Blue smoke goes drifting by into the deep blue sky, My memories of you will never die.
