Mareva - Words & music by Eddie Lund

 

To mata ninamu, to mata purotu
Mai te ra`i ninamu, to tino manina
To rouru tu`u noa, o oe tau here
Mareva ta`u e mihi nei
Mareva ite atea e, e te ho`i atu nei
Au ia oe na e
E Mareva ta`u here

 

You came to me from afar
I held your hand and touched a star
Mareva, you're my flower of paradise
 
The night breeze whispered to you
And led you to our rendezvous
Mareva, you're my flower of paradise
 
Waves, warm and tender
Murmured surrender
Somewhere a dove sighed

How could romance be denied
With sweet enchantment like this
Our kiss could never go amiss
 
You're mine now
I can see it in your eyes
Mareva, you're my flower of paradise
