I'm so proud of this track.
Sung by niece Tasmin and karakia by my big brother Jeromy, this is a family collaboration I've been manifesting for some time. Enjoy!

lyrics

ECHO
A. van Riel

E Moko,
Kei konei tonu au, katahi ka inoi mai koe, kei to ahau ahau ake ake.


Translation:
My baby, I’m still here.
All you have to do is ask and I’ll be at your side forever


A wishing star shining bright
As I call out my wish tonight
Can you hear me as you burn
I know you can because you made my voice return
And all the other stars up in the sky are twinkling too
I know it means they understand my wish is coming true

Listen to my echo, echo, echo
You can hear my echo, echo, echo
And it’s clear to see
My wish is coming back at me
Yeah you can hear my echo, echo, echo
Listen to my echo, echo, echo
It’s coming back to me
My wish is coming back at me

I call to the mountains, I call to the sky
I call to the stars and I wonder why
Why I can hear someone just like me
Someone who sounds like me, they’re calling back at me
And all the other stars up in the sky are twinkling too
I know it means they understand my wish is coming true

Maranga maranga
Maranga Mai te whetu o te ata
Maranga mai te whetu o te tau
Kia makinakina ki uta, kia mataratara ki tai
Tera te atakura, tera te kahukura roa i hikitia ai te ao i te po ki te ao marama
Tihei Mauriora


Translation:
Stars of Matariki
Rise. Rise. Rise up oh star of the morning, rise up oh star of the year.
That the land be crisp from the mountains to the sea.
There stands the crimson dawn
There glows the rad aura of vitality that draws forth the day from the night into the world of light.
Behold there is light.
