Beautiful. Like out of this world. Makes me a lot to think how precious our planet is with so many various cultures. We have to and must do the best to save it, people. As this moment Iam seeking some warm and sun this time of the year. Thanks. Hugs from - 20 c winter. Finland.:)

A beautiful Cook Islands love song translated: Your beauty, my rose Is like the rays of the sun, at sunset Hold me, my rose Together, we embrace... our love Hold me, let me look into your eyes Let me kiss your soft lips Oh my love the softness of your heart In my heart i will treasure you always .

Truly miss my home in Nikao,manihiki,rakahanga,and Palmerston wish I could visit

[@Paatuki]

To manea e taku roti Your beauty my rose Mei te vero o te ra is like the rays of the sun I te maru a'ia'i in the evening Ka mau mai ra e taku roti I want to hold you my rose Kia piri tika rai tightly To taua 'inangaro Our love Ka mau mai ra to aro i aku e I hold you Kia 'ongi ana au I kiss you I to paparinga e on your cheek Aue e ma'ine Oh girl Te maru i to ngakau Your soft heart Kare roa koe e ngaro will never be forgetten i roto i taku ngakau e 'ine in my heart my love

[@tangiadams7046]

really! lyrics don't seem correct? "Mei te vero o te ra, i te maru a'ia'i" loosely translated? " my tears will protect your beauty from the heat of the sun" our beautiful reo is easily lost in translation.
