reference music : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfLbwn4kJpU
Chords : F / Am / Bb / Gm / Eb / C7 / F7 / Dm
Taku kimi anga ra ia koe e ine
Kite atu vau i to mata manea
Umu umu ana au kia peke koe iaku
Tano atu rai taku i manako
Mataora tika ito taua piri anga
Noatu to kino iaku e ine
Kare taku inangaro ia koe e ngaro
Kua oti ite papau i mua te atua
Na te mate taua e tatara
Aue te akaroa iaku nei e
Ua taki mai ko iaku ki to ipukarea
Ua akamata koe i te akanevaneva iaku aue
Ea hara te atu i pera i koe iaku aue
Ea hara te atu i pera i koe iaku aue

I searched for someone like you in my life
And when I saw your beautiful face/eyes
I tried my best to win you
My effort was rewarded and we became one
Our lives were filled with Joy
You brought me to your home land
And started to treat me bad “Aue”
What is this way? How could you treat me like this?
“AUE” Even though you treat me badly
My love for you will never die
We have said our vows before God Till death do us
