I think that this is a very simple song. And very attractive in the content. I've no wish to try and do this song - I have a matching notion of it with the tin whistle. I will learn to play it.
It's that moment when a daughter passes into sleep in her father's arms & the father coming to the realization that everything that comes in life must be shared between them. He cries at the naked expression of love & is daunted by it's beauty.
For My { very-much Loved} ,
Grand-Daughter, First-born Grandchild: Eva-Maria.
Little-one: you'll never KNOW what this song truly means.
But perhaps, one day; your distant Sons or Daughters will sing this Song to Their Children: and on that Day, an Antient GrandFather shall Smile Upon His Far-Distant Children.
Kind and Respectful Regards, My sweet Eva-Maria, ^Uyraell^.
So beautiful, no words can express it. Thank you, Hayley, for bringing the remarkable Teddy Tahu to share this with you. Maori songs are one of the world's greatest miracles.
