Will my spirit stay with me or will my bad luck now begin? Aye, I'm a bit scared. Ripples, so drop the hook Ripples, so drop the hook It's quivering, trembling, I'm pulling up the line It's quivering, trembling, I'm pulling up the line It's quivering, trembling, I'm pulling up the line. Here .. comes .. something .. good for .. you .... They're coming, coming the old people They're coming, coming the old people It's quivering, trembling, I'm pulling up the line It's quivering, trembling, I'm pulling up the line It's quivering, trembling, I'm pulling up the line. Here comes a treat for you. The spirits indeed have overcome the fear I had here.

 

 

     

Karu or Ka Ru?

The song makes word-play with "karu" and "ka rū." In NZ Maori Karu means "eye" or "look at it." Ka rū means "It is quivering."

The song's title is usually written "Karu, karu" Look, look.

But the accent in the song is on the -ru. So maybe it could be loosely translated as "Look at it quivering!
