PAIKEA performed by Te Roopu O Turanga Ake

Kaea...
Ko tahi! Ko rua! Ko toru! Uia mai!

Uia mai koia whakahuatia ake
  Ask and you will be told;
Ko wai te whare nei e
  What is the name of this house?
Ko wai te tekoteko kei runga
  Who is the carved figure above?
Ko PAIKEA! Ko PAIKEA!
  It is PAIKEA! It is PAIKEA!

Ahh hi! Whakakau PAIKEA
  PAIKEA emerges. Hey!
Ahh hi! Whakakau he tipuna
  A wizard emerges. Hey!  
Ahh hi! Whakakau he taniwha
 A deep-water prodigy is wading ashore. Hey!
Ka u! Ka u! PAIKEA ki Ahuahu PAIKEA!
 PAIKEA lands at Ahuahu
Kei te whiti a koe
Kahutia-te-rangi aue!
Me ai to ure ki te tamahine a Te Whironui aue!
Nana i noho te Roto-o-tahe
Aue! Aue! He koruru e koro e

English Version

Ask and you will be told;
What is the name of this house?
Who is the carved figure above?
It is PAIKEA! It is PAIKEA!

PAIKEA emerges. Hey!
A wizard emerges. Hey!
A deep-water prodigy is ashore. Hey!
PAIKEA lands at Ahuahu. Slap!

Your identity is entwined with Kahutia-te-rangi. Amazing!
You were intimate with the daughter of Te whironui - really!
Who settled at the lake of Woman's Blood.

Alas! Alas! You are now a figurehead, old one.

EASY Dennis Marsh

EASY sung by Dennis Marsh (New Zealand)

I could have searched the world and never found you.
Just like in a dream you came to me.
Now every time I put my arms around you.
Now I know why loving you comes easily.

EASY, ohhh EASY.
That's how loving you was meant to be.

EASY, ohhh EASY.
Loving you comes so EASY to me.

You look just like you were sent from heaven.
And in away your loving me is so heavenly.
I never thought that love could be so EASY.
And I know your only EASY with me.

EASY, ohhh EASY.
That's how loving you was meant to be.

EASY, ohhh EASY.
Loving you comes so EASY to me.
Loving you comes so EASY to me.
