Kia ora, does anyone else think they're singing, in the second verse "kei" rather than "kai" in each instance? Wouldn't that make more sense, too? "Kei ki i te wai kei mate i te ua."

Kia ora e hoa, 'kai' is a dialectal version of 'kei' - they both mean 'lest' in this case. 'Kei' is more common, but is sometimes replaced with 'kai' in east coast dialects to my knowledge. Hope that helps :)

@@arrencoif this was the case in this instance, kai would be used instead of kei everywhere eg kai kī I te wai kai mate i te ua- so it’s a little confusing in this context

Kia ora Kylie. Good effort but the lyrics need to be posted before the singing commences. I've just recommended this version to Radio NZ Concert for the "Rain" theme today.
