Au
Ahau — that is me
Koe is you
Ia is he or she or they
Just one person — easy day!
Māua — me and someone else
Tāua — hey
I’m talking to you too!
Kōrua — you two over there
Yes
I see you — stop that stare!
Mātou — us
But not including you
Tātou — yes
You’re invited too!
Koutou — all of you in the room
Rātou — they
Wherever they zoom!
Māua — me and someone else
Tāua — hey
I’m talking to you too!
Kōrua — you two over there
Yes
I see you — stop that stare!
Now we’ve sung them nice and slow
Sing it seven times — they’ll stick
You know!
Call them out and clap in time
Say them loud and make them rhyme!
