he ruri ngāwari - vaughan rapatahana # 4

                               














he ruri ngāwari

kāore ahau he mohio
kāore ahau…

kāore ahau he mohio
te pūtake
kāore ahau.

                                                                                                    engari

ko
te tika
tēnei:

e whaiāipo ana ahau ki a koe









[Translation - from my first tongue Māori – 

a simple love ditty

I don’t know
I don’t…
I don’t know
 the reason
I don’t.

                                                            but

this is the truth:
I am in love with you.]

    Are these two faces a "she" and a "he" or does it an equivalent which could stand for the Janus legend, this Roman God of ends and begennings ?
