Waku - Minaral A Minalay

My mother is the eldest

Is the eldest of the seven

All the seven of the sisters

With the pattern of the match

And the colors and the weaving

Are a bond that's made with love

So the waku is unbroken

That the seven sisters wove

Waku

Walk across my weaving

Waku (waku)

When he came into the world

He was placed upon the mat

Pandana soft and gentle

Where I place my baby head

He's a child and full of wonder

He crawls along the weaving

When he fell in love and married

Play the mind waku

Waku (waku)

He walks across my weaving

Waku (waku)

He walks across my weaving

Minaral minalay, waku

When his time has come to end

Like a blanket, he'll be covered

(Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)

(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh)

Here he comes the warrior

All tied and battle weary

He walks across my weaving

With the lightness in his step

He comes holding strong the Kuguai

She's blind and cannot not see him

But she calls out loud his name

Kuwiya

Waku

Come and walk across my weaving

Waku

Come and walk across my weaving

Mineral minalay, waku

Waku

Walk across my weaving

Oh, waku

He walks across my weaving

Oh, waku

He walks across my weaving

Oh, waku

He walks across my weaving

Oh, waku
