Together Alone Lyrics

Crowded House Together Alone

together alone
above and beneath
we were as close
as anyone can be
now you are gone
far away from me
as is once
will always be
together alone

anei ra maua (here we are together)
e piri tahi nei (in a very close embrace)
e noha tahi nei (being together)
ko maua anake (just us alone)
kei runga a Rangi (Rangi the sky-father is above)
ko papa kei raro (the earth mother is below)
e mau tonu nei (our love for one another)
kia mau tonu ra (is everlasting)

together alone
shallow and deep
holding our breath
paying death no heed
i'm still your friend
when you are in need
as is once
will always be
earth and sky
moon and sea

Maori Chant

anei ra maua (here we are together)
e piri tahi nei (in a very close embrace)
e noha tahi nei (being together)
ko maua anake (just us alone)
kei runga a Rangi (Rangi the sky-father is above)
ko papa kei raro (the earth mother is below)
e mau tonu nei (our love for one another)
kia mau tonu ra (is everlasting)
