 Here is a popular Tahitian song that’s a little more challenging. It is in the Key of C, and I used the different chord inversions discussed earlier to come up with a melody version. It’s not exactly like the original played by the Tahitian group Te Ava Piti, but it was a good exercise to find the melody notes and figure out what chord inversion to use. See below for videos playing the melody part of the song as well as the entire song with a melody break in the middle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJlUtIu8Gsw : Pahoho Melody Part https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSZTQ8y0o2U : Pahoho Melody Part (slow) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzeQ0iSRcLE : Song with Melody https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AB6NDFJRPVU : Song with Melody (faster)

Papa E

Hihiki mai i faifaiga o te fenua Lift up your eyes1to the tales of the land E he puli au ite olaga masani That which I tell you concerning the traditions of life He mafai fakapuli ite loto I will not lose to memory2 Ite loto o papa e In memory of Papa E3 Aue ite nuku o papa e Oh, within the land4 of Papa E.

Tali: Chorus: Aue aue Papa e Oh, oh, Papa E Aue Papa e Oh, papa E Aue aue Papa e Oh, oh, Papa E Ite nuku o Papa e Within the land of Papa E

Oku moko mokoga ke toe fanatu I often go there and recollect my thoughts5 I mea nae masani ai In which were so dear6to me Kata lava e mua mai Laughter of times past Te kata o Papa e The laughter of Papa e Aue ite nuku o Papa e Oh, within the land of Papa e

 1. can also mean to listen to, to lend your ears, etc.  2. alt. loto literally means 'within', and is also used to describe the heart (fig.), and soul.  3. as in many if not all Polynesian languages, the word 'papa' literally means wood  4. lit. home, abode, haven  5. in this context, it means to relive the memories of Papa E  6. masani is both an adjective meaning 'fond', 'dainty', 'pleasant' and a noun 'custom', 'tradition'. Pōkarekare Ana Traditional Maori Song/Paraire Tomoana, c. 1914 For the students, teachers, and staff of Hobsonville Point School, NZ

Verse 1 F Bb Pōkarekare ana, ngā wai o Waiapu (The waves are breaking, against the shores of Waiapu)

Bb C7 F Whiti atu koe hine, marino ana e (My heart is aching, for your return my love.)

Chorus F7 Bb Bbm F C7 F E hine e, hoki mai ra, ka mate ahau i te aroha e. (Oh my beloved girl, come back to me, I could die of love for you)

Verse 2 F Bb Tuhituhi taku reta, tuku atu taku rīni (I have written you a letter, and enclosed with it my ring)

C7 F Kia kite tō iwi, raruraru ana e. (So your people could see it how much I'm troubled for you..)

Chorus F7 Bb Bbm F C7 F E hine e, hoki mai ra, ka mate ahau i te aroha e. F7 Bb Bbm F C7 F E hine e, hoki mai ra, ka mate ahau i te aroha e. C7 F ka mate ahau i te aroha e.

Additional Verses (from wikipedia) Whatiwhati taku pene, kua pau aku pepa My poor pen is broken, my paper is spent, Ko taku aroha, mau tonu ana e. But my love for you endures,and remains forevermore. E kore te aroha, e maroke i te rā The sun's hot sheen, won't scorch my love, Mākūkū tonu i aku roimata e. Being kept evergreen, by the falling of my tears. PORINETIA (B.Holcomb)

"Te Atua mou e" ("God is Truth") is the national anthem of the Cook Islands. It was adopted in 1982, replacing the previous New Zealand anthem "God Defend New Zealand".

The music is by Sir Tom Davis, then Prime Minister of the Cook Islands. The words are by his wife, Pa Tepaeru Terito Ariki Lady Davis.

There are 7 consonants in Hawaiian: H, K, L, M, N, P and W Most are pronounced similar to English, though p and k are softer.

The W is the only Hawaiian consonant w/ pronunciation exceptions; general guidelines are as follows: First letter of the word: a “w” sound After i or e: usually a “v” sound After u or o: most frequently like “w.” After a: either
