A brief story of this song
This song is a love story from the Island of Penrhyn/Tongareva/Hararanga/Tepitaka.
The story is about a young woman, named Maki who swam from her village searching for her young handsome husband to be from another village in Tongareva. Today, there are only two villages in Tongareva and during Maki's time, the whole Island known as Tepitaka (which means the circle of the Island) was populated right around the Island before 90% of the population were taken by blackbirding slavery.(www.noted.co.nz/currently/currently-history/blackbirding-new-zealands-shameful-role-in-the-pacific-islands-slave-trade)

Click on this link www.angusrobertson.com.au/books/wild-life-among-the-pacific-islanders-e-h-lamont/p/9780341907800?gclid=CjwKCAiAo7HwBRBKEiwAvC_Q8a4z9XvOnBFm5u-LGqLKb2Huc24Qi6hMb5fDdNmVfL6Zyp2rofJI3xoCpN4QAvD_BwE about the book of an eye witness named, Lamont that was taken captive on Tongareva. Lamont published his book in 1867 named Wild life among the Pacific islanders / by E.H. Lamont
She (Maki) was described with a beautiful tanned/red (kulakula) skin.
Vahine, kulakula
(A beautiful tanned woman may be due to the time she swam for a period of time being exposed in the sun)
Sopu ai Maki e
(Sopu means, swim/swam - Maki swam)
Silinga
(Silinga may be the name of the village where she swam to in search of her handsome prince)
Sumalinga, kaaha
(Sumalinga means, Beautiful / Ka aha au iakoe. This appears that the people of the village where Maki swam to was asking 'what can I do for you?)
Kote ika leva o Ta
(Maki is responding by describing the person she was looking for? He is the child of of Ta. So often Tongareva described their children as something meaningful to them such as 'E manu taku i akanoho kite riu ote kainga'. Manu means a bird and in this story, the handsome person that Maki is searching for was described as a ika which means as a fish)
Sumalinga, kaha
Kote ika leva o ta
Eiaue, Eiaue
Ko vai to Matua
Ko Tangaroa, ko Rongonui
Tane au e, e akaputa mai
When Tongareva says 'Eiaue, Eiaue,' they are speaking with love and adoration of another person. This part of the story appears that the people of the village of Silinga where Maki swam to is now asking the following questions, 'ko vai to matua?' Who are your parents.
In respond, Maki said 'Ko Tangaroa and Rongonui'. These could be Maki's parents.
Tane au e akaputa mai means, I came in search of a Man described as 'te kula e tane, can be understood as handsome man.
This part of the story depicts how all Tongareva make their connections with others about their genealogy. As a Tongareva born and raised, my wife who was raised in Palmerston (another Island in the Cook Islands) often misunderstood why the Tongareva people often asked her 'who are your parents'. As soon, she tells them, they will tell her how she connects with them, thus makes her as their aunt or niece.
My name is Ula Tini Joseph (LLB & BA(Hserv) and I hope this song makes sense to you wanting to know a bit about the story of this song. This version is the latest of this story and there were two earlier versions of the same story.
So proud of our Tongareva new generation modernising our story today.

Hiede ben
Love this song...but can someone explain the meaning to this Song please ra...thank you
Chandelier
Motherland
the composer is writing it to a beautiful natural girl saying she is sooo beautiful and natural like the motherlands... the part where is says “kaha kote ika o reva otai” - beautiful like the fish in the sea... asking her who are your parents??? Tangaroa (God before God) or Rongo nui (high cheif back in the days) .. basically asking if she is from our Gods back before christianity .. and then saying she is soo beautiful she is like a gift from God (rongonui) and the composer is saying “i want you to be my daughter because you are so beautiful” kind of like adoption which is common and normal in tongareva culture .. something like that.. it has alot of old school penrhyn dialect ..
@@lulutaia8538 whoever your saying the composer is of this song she or he better correct themselves vaine kura kura was composed by my late grandfather Papa AKAPEREPERE PUNOUA RAKI and no not tauanui either MY GRANDFATHER😡😡😡 Heidi has put her own feel to it but do not try and say a song belongs to u when u know dam well it isn't bloody people
Vahine ke ko hiede meau

can we get a translation too, please?
edit: this is a different dialect from my island so i cant translate it properly, but i wanna do a dance to this song, its so beautiful
Love this but don’t know the meaning or lyrics.
Such a good melody and lay back Jam.
Help cook island peeps! What does this song mean I need details please!
sorry enisilina, she's singing in the Penrhyn Island dialect which is quite different to the Rarotongan one. hopefully someone will come forward and be better help than me lol. i know i the aitutaki language kurakura means brown. in theirs i think it means red or reddish brown. vahine is girl/female. so the brown girl?
PolyNZian all good thank you for trying!
Enisilina the song is about a girl that swam from the other side of the island to the other.... Cause Penrhyn is an island with a lagoon in the middle. So the lagoon is pretty much surrounded by lands. And by the time she reached to the other side, her whole body was all red from spending the whole time in the sun and also the sea(a.k.a the lagoon) and the people on that village called her Vahine Kurakura. So if I was to translate that in English it will be The Red Woman...
Sorry that all I can tell you..... I'm actually from Penrhyn but I'm not really quite good with my old traditional dialect coz I'm used to the nowadays one 🤣🤣🤣 but I hope that would help you a bit...
Oh by the way I'm the singers little sister...
Thank you
Delilah John Ben beautiful song beautiful meaning. I would like to be that reddish woman 🥰🥰
Anyone know the lyrics and translation?

my dad wrote it out for me he is Penrhyn same as Heide Ben. Heide is my cousin basically even though the title is a Vahine Kura Kura which is Rarotongan she pronounces it as Kula Kula which is the Penrhyn dialect. Which is why he wrote it in Penrhyn if you somehow get confused later on.
Jhana Temast i tried writing the words lol i also thought she said Vahine Kula Kula, by any chance can you put up lyrics 😬 My mother was of Penrhyn/Aitutakian i cant speak the language myself, but understand to some degree 😅
Jhana Temast sorry didnt see your previous comment and the lyrics 👍
Jhana Temast thanks 🌱💚
How do I get in touch with Panama Productions via email please?
