I can't wait for this full album to release if this single is anything to go by. Already obsessed, I've listened to it on repeat every day since I first heard it. Marlon Williams has such a gift of a voice, and a full album in te reo Māori is so exciting.

lyrics
Ko au anake
Ki te waka,
Ki te moana
Kāore kau he matangi
Kāore he aha nei
Titiro mai
Titiro mai!
Te ama!
Ka tāuke atu nei
Aua atu rā
Ka mate au ki te moana mārie
Kāore ōku tūmanako
Kāore he aha nei
Anana e
Anana e!
Te ama!
Ka tāuke atu nei
Aua atu rā
E kore au e hoki anō ki a koe
Kāore e hoki anō ki tō kainga ē
E kore au e hoki anō ki a koe
Kāore e hoki anō ki tō kainga ē
Ko au anake
Ki te waka,
Ki te moana
Kāore kau he matangi
Kāore he aha nei
Aroha mai
Aroha mai!
Te ama!
Ka tāuke atu nei
Aua atu rā
Ki te waka,
Ki te moana
Kāore kau he matangi
Kāore he aha nei
Titiro mai
Titiro mai!
Te ama!
Ka tāuke atu nei
Aua atu rā
Ka mate au ki te moana mārie
Kāore ōku tūmanako
Kāore he aha nei
Anana e
Anana e!
Te ama!

Ki te waka,
Ki te moana
Kāore kau he matangi

Aroha mai
Aroha mai!

The Ghost of Freddie Cesar
by Troy Kingisupported by 9 fans who also own “Aua Atu Rā”
Can't wait to hear the next albums in Troy's 10 albums / 10 genres / 10 years gauntlet. After giving this album a thorough listen 3 times through, I had to buy his discography so far. I defy anyone to listen to track #1: "Shake that skinny ass" without finding their foot tapping. Check yo pulse if it doesn't - odds are your soul has completely shuffled off its mortal coil!
