Kia ora, (G'day)

Despite coming from the land of "Once were warriors", i must admit I never saw the film (or any other in years) - no movie theatre here, and I never have time on my rare visits to the mainland.

However, if you get the lyrics, and need help with Maori word meanings, get in touch. I'll help as much as I can.

Subject: Lyr Add: RUA KENANA
From: Jim Dixon
Date: 01 Feb 05 - 11:04 PM

Interesting. Here we have a Hawaiian band (Kapena) singing about a Maori prophet (Rua Kenana) using a Jamaican rhythm. You can hear a generous sound sample of Kapena's recording at their website. However, I don't think Kapena performed it on the soundrack.

allmusic says RUA KENANA was written by D. Grace.

Lyrics below copied from copied from a Hawaiian music fan site:

RUA KENANA

CHORUS:
 Am
Ooh yeah Ooh yeah Ooh yeah.
                                 G
Scoodily woodily woop bop bayo whoa.
                Am
Rua left his mark on this world.

Ooh yeah Ooh yeah ooh yeah.
                                  G
Scoodily woodily woop bop bayo whoa.
                Am
Rua left his mark on this world.

Rua Kenana, Tuhoe prophet from the Uruwera.
G             Am
O Rua, Rua Kenana.

Rua Kenana, Tuhoe prophet from the Uruwera.
G             Am
O Rua, Rua Kenana.
He told his people not to go to war.
Let the white man fight the white man's war.
O Rua, Rua Kenana.
He told his people not to go to war.
Let the white man fight the white man's war.
O Rua, Rua Kenana. CHORUS

He lived there at Maungapohatu.
Children of the mist is what they called you.
O Tuhoe, Tuhoe nui paru.
He lived there at Maungapohatu.
Children of the mist is what they called you.
O Tuhoe, Tuhoe nui paru. CHORUS

[Recorded by Kapena on "Kapena Is Da Crew," 1999.]

From: Uke
Date: 28 May 07 - 07:10 PM

Just to make it easier, there seemingly being about two dozen songs with this title, the lyrics are below (and chords can be found here
):

SLIPPIN' AWAY
Max Merritt & The Meteors


Baby I've been watchin' you
(Baby I've been watchin' you)
Watchin' everything you do
(Watchin' everything you do)
And I just can't help but feelin'
Someone else is stealin' you away from me
I see it written in your eyes
And you confirm it with your lies
Though the way the weave can hold me
I would rather that you told me, where you wanna be

Oh, oh, oh, you're slippin' away from me
Oh, oh, oh, you're slippin' away from me
And it's breakin' me in two
Watchin' you slippin' away

Baby, I've been watchin' you
(Baby, I've been watchin' you)
Watchin' everything you do
(Watchin' everything you do)
And I just can't help but feelin'
Someone else is stealin' you away from me
I see it written in your eyes
And you confirm it with your lies
Though the way the weave can hold me
I would rather that you told me, where you wanna be

Oh, oh, oh, you're slippin' away from me
Oh, oh, oh, you're slippin' away from me
And it's breakin' me in two
(Breakin' me in two)
Watchin' you slippin' away
And it's breakin' me in two
(Breakin' me in two)
Watchin' you slippin' away
And it's breakin me in two
(Breakin' me in two)
Watchin' you slippin' away

Baby I've been watchin' you
Watchin' everything you do
And I just can't help but feelin'
Someone else is stealin' you away from me
I see it written in your eyes
And you confirm it with your lies
Though the way the weave can hold me
I would rather that you told me, where you wanna be

Whoa, oh, oh, you're slippin' away from me
Whoa, oh, oh, you're slippin' away from me
And it's breakin' me in two
Watchin' you slippin' away
And it's breakin' me in two
Watchin' you slippin' away

(Fades to End)
Yes, it's breakin' me in two
Watchin' you slippin' away
I said, it's breakin' me in two
Watchin' you slippin' away

J: Well I've tried, as hard as I can
             C             D    D7

             G             Bm7
   Cos the world, it won't stop
             C                     D      D7
   It keeps goin', goin' round and round.

                G                     Bm7
B: I guess the nature, the nature of love
         C                      D      D7
   Has always, always been this way
               G       Eb7      D7
   Here is my heart...........

         G                      Bm7
J&B: I remember all those yesterdays
         C                      D    D7
    Understanding- your every way
         G                      Bm7
    And I know the world never stops
                C                         D      D7
    It keeps going, round and round and round
                   G                      Bm7
    Cos that's the nature, the nature of love
               C                      D       D7
    And it's always, always been this way.

               G                     Eb7
ALL: So now my lover, there'll be no other

Allmusic.com is a good source for finding out about recordings. It lists 48 recordings of SLIPPIN' AWAY—but there are several different songs with that title.

It might be easier to tell them apart if we knew who wrote the one you want.

Apparently they're making a sequel about the prevalence of mental health problems in the Maori community and the widespread use of Prozac and other anti-depressants.

It's going to be called 'Once Were Worriers'.
