about

the song reflects on one of our most mysterious local tāonga, te mātuku hūrepo, the Australasian Bittern. It was great to think of this great bird out on the river, living it's life as I was stuck inside waiting for the storm to pass.

lyrics

Mātuku Mātuku
kei hea koe?
kei te hunahuna koe ki te Raupō e?

(Mātuku, where are you? Hiding in the Raupō)

Mātuku he whakaroau tō tū
kei te hopuhopu koe ngā tuna e

(Mātuku, standing so still to snare the Tuna)

Mātuku ka haere koe
ki hea ina te awa e waipuke?

(Mātuku, where will you go when the river is in flood?)

Ka huna ō tamariki ki hea
ina te kahu e whakatakina e?

(Mātuku, where will you hide your children when the Kahu comes searching?)
