Welcome to the Lemmyvision Song Contest where communities and instances of Lemmy submit a song and vote on their favourites!

The aim is to promote different languages and cultures from around the world, to share more between our online communities across Lemmy, and discover songs from lesser known artists.

The first edition of Lemmyvision has concluded. More will come, in the meantime, feel free to share music from where you're from! 🎶

Just be nice to one another ❤
Enjoy the music! 🎧

As discussed mostly here, but also here, and here, we are nominating this specific Tangaroa version as our entry, as it was released in 2023. Note the song itself was released some time before this, we are assuming it's OK to nominate this version released in 2023 (we have backups if not!).

It's also on Spotify.

Sure!

Ko Papatuanuku me Ranginui nga matua o te a
I puta mai nga tamariki nga Atua o te ao
He Atua o te moana
Ko Tangaroa he Atua o te moana
Tu mai te ihi
Tu mai te wehiwehi
Tu mai te wanawana e
Hi ha aue

Here's a more literal translation: https://lyricstranslate.com/en/tangaroa-tangaroa.html-0

And here's a more poetic translation from someone: https://lyricstranslate.com/en/tangaroa-tangaroa.html

I'm not sure if the artist has ever provided their own translation.
