lyrics

Pīpī pīpī manu e
Pīpīwharauroa
E pī pī pī ana e
Mō Pāpā Māmā wharauroa

Kei whea kē koe e Pā e?
Kei whea kē koe e Mā e?
Kimi atu, kimi mai
Kei whea kē kōrua e?

Kūī kūī whio!
Korowhiti korowhiti
Kūī kūī a!

Chicks of the
Shining cuckoo
Calling for their
Parents

Where are you Pa?
Where are you Ma?
We search here and there
Where are you both?
