7 - Menemene
Smile

Korihi

Kua taka te kapa
Now you understand
Māku ō āwangawanga e whakarata
I will calm your worries
Haere mai ki taku taha
Come to my side
Ka huri i tō tangi ki te katakata
I will turn your sadness into laughter
Ka wete-wetewete
Te menemene menemene e
Your smile will be released
Haere mai ki taku taha
Come to my side
Ka huri i tō tangi ki te katakata
I will turn your sadness into laughter

Wāhanga Tuatahi

I mau koe i te pāhunu
You’ve been holding onto hurt
Nā te mea he manawa pakaru
From your broken heart
Kaua e noho momotu
But don’t let that keep you isolated
Kei a koe taku aro nāu ahau i hopu
You’ve caught my focus
Whakatoi ana mō taku hapa
Yeah I get cheeky, that’s my bad
Reka ake ahau i te kūmara
You know I’m sweeter than a Kumara
Katikati mai kia mārama ai
Have a taste, and you’ll understand
Ko au te tāne māu
He tāne atawhai
I’m the guy for you, a nice guy.

He poto noa
Te oranga
Life’s short
Kia kaua e
Noho mokemoke
So don’t stay lonely

Korihi
Kua taka te kapa
Now you understand
Māku ō āwangawanga e whakarata
I will calm your worries
Haere mai ki taku taha
Come to my side
Ka huri i tō tangi ki te katakata
I will turn your sadness into laughter
Ka wete-wetewete
Te menemene menemene e
Your smile will be released
Haere mai ki taku taha
Come to my side
Ka huri i tō tangi ki te katakata
I will turn your sadness into laughter

Wāhanga Tuarua
E rata ana i te teitei e rata hoki i te poto (ae ae)
I like ‘em tall and I like em short
Mana wahine me te toa, ko koe taku momo (momo)
A strong independent woman, you’re just my type
Ka rangona tā tāua hono - hono
You can feel our connection
Mōhio koe hine kia oho - oho
I know you know, let your feelings be roused
Ka tae ahau ki tō kuaha ka tomo
If I arrive at your door, may I enter
Ko au te tino kino mōu, pono
I’ll be good for you, that’s facts

He poto noa
Te oranga
Life’s short
Kia kaua e
Noho mokemoke
So don’t stay lonely

Haere mai ka tarai
Come to me, let’s give this a go
Tāua kia piri pai
You and me could be great
Taku haere hoa kōtui
If you become my partner arm in arm

Korihi
Kua taka te kapa
Now you understand
Māku ō āwangawanga e whakarata
I will calm your worries
Haere mai ki taku taha
Come to my side
Ka huri i tō tangi ki te katakata
I will turn your sadness into laughter
Ka wete-wetewete
Te menemene menemene e
Your smile will be released
Haere mai ki taku taha
Come to my side
Ka huri i tō tangi ki te katakata
I will turn your sadness into laughter
