Te Namo

The Lagoon

Come with me1across the lagoon to the shores
We'll go over to the other side2
To the piers3, aligned, within, intertwined4
Look at the children, see how they grow.
 
We go
We go to Tokelau
 
When will our time come?
Thank the shooting stars
 
The day approaches
The storm gathers5
Birds flying to safety6
In the coming of the day
They fly above the sea
Come with me to my ship
The day approaches
The storm gathers.
 
Behold!7The lagoon
The storms!
Behold! The lagoon
 
Our children
Behold! The lagoon
The beasts8of the air.
