10 - Kokomea (Ft. Olivia Foa’i)
Sunset Glow

Intro
I te kokomea (ea, ea) in the sunset glow..
​
Verse 1
He wā roa e noho tahi ana i te takakau I’ve been single for too long
Heoi me he mana wahine kei te manahau But once I’ve found my woman of mana I’ll be happy
I raro i te rama o te rā me te atarau under the sunshine and the moonlight
Ka waiata ki taku tau, taku tau I will sing to my lover
Me he moko just like a tattoo representing my ancestry,
Ko koe kei roto you flow
i taku toto through my veins
Ki taku ngākau pono filling my heart.
Ka haere atu rā koe if you leave
Heoi anō ka noho tonu kē I’ll be here waiting
Rite ki te rā wehewehe just like when the sun goes away
Ka hoki mai e you’ll come right back to me

Chorus
I te kokomea (ea) In the sunset glow
Ka tiro ki a koe ka ea I see you and I am settled
Kokomea (ea) sunset glow
Ka noho tahi ahakoa ki whea We’ll be together, no matter where we are
Mō āke tonu forever more
E kore e kore e māwhe tō purotu your beauty will never fade

I te kokomea (ea) (ea) in the sunset glow
I te kokomea (ea) (ea) in the sunset glow

Verse 2 (Olivia in Tokelauan)

Na fakatali atu au
I waited
Na hakili atu ki a te koe
I searched for you
O na tūlaga uma hehē
In all the wrong places
Na hē ko iloa
I didn't know

Na hē malamalama
Didn't understand
e hē ko kitea I te pō
Can't see in the dark
Na tupu tō gigila kehe
Your unusual glimmer started to grow

I toku loto
In my heart
Te la e hopo
The sun rises
o manako
I want
ke tumau pea
to stay forever

Chorus
I te kokomea (ea) In the sunset glow
Ka tiro ki a koe ka ea I see you and I am settled
Kokomea (ea) sunset glow
Ka noho tahi ahakoa ki whea We’ll be together, no matter where we are
Mō āke tonu forever more
E kore e kore e māwhe tō purotu your beauty will never fade

I te kokomea (ea) (ea) in the sunset glow
I te kokomea (ea) (ea) in the sunset glow
I te kokomea (ea) (ea) in the sunset glow
I te kokomea (ea) (ea) in the sunset glow

Rei -
Ka katia katia te moe tokomaha I’m done with sleeping around
Koirā tāku i ngā wā o mua that was the old me
Olivia -
Kāfai e moni ō lagona if your feelings are true
E hauni, hau mai koe I’m ready, come to me
Rei

E kore ai te rā e tō the sun will not set
Rei and Olivia Unison -
i tō tāua aroha pūmau on our everlasting love
i a tāua alofa tūmau (tokelau version)

Chorus
I te kokomea (ea) in the sunset glow
Ka tiro ki a koe ka ea I see you and I am settled
Kokomea (ea) sunset glow
Ka noho tahi ahakoa ki whea We’ll be together, no matter where we are
Mō āke tonu forever more
E kore e kore e māwhe tō purotu your beauty will never fade

I te kokomea (ea) (ea) in the sunset glow
I te kokomea (ea) (ea) in the sunset glow
I te kokomea (ea) (ea) in the sunset glow
I te kokomea (ea) (ea) in the sunset glow
