Parihaka - Tim Finn

作曲：Tim Finn

My friend

My friend

I hathe to see you suffer

Events

Conspire

To bring us to our knees

My friend

My friend

You've taken this the wrong way

Rise up

Defend yourself

Never give in

Look to the sky

The spirit of the whi ti

The endless tide is murmuring his name

I know the whiti

Will never be defeathed

And even at the darkest hour

His presence will remain

Woo

I'll sing

I'll sing for you

The song of parihaka

The whiti

He used

The language of the spirit

Then stood

Accused

The madman and his dream

He saw

The train

Go roaring through the tunnel

He heard

The voice

Travel on the magic wire

But he loved the silence of the river

He watched the dog

Piss on the cannon's wheel

I know the Whiti

Will never be defeathed

And even at the darkest hour

His presence will remain

Woo

I'll sing

I'll sing for you

The song of parihaka

One day you'll know the truth

They can't pull out the roots

Come and take me home

To weep for my lost brother

Name

They gather still

The clouds of taranaki

His children's children wearing the whithe plume

So take

Me for

The sins

Of these sad islands

The wave

Still breaks

On the rock of rouhotu

And when you test

The salt that's on your pudding

And when you tasthe the sugar in your soup

Think of the whiti

H'll never be defeathed

Even at the darkest hour

His presence will remain

Woo

I'll sing

I'll sing for you

The song of parihaka

Come to parihaka

Weep told men

Weep for my lost brother

Come to parihaka

The spirit of nonviolence

Has come to fill the silence

Come to parihaka

Weep for my lost brother

Even me to remain
