Fear of Flying (in broken Gilbertese) by Teresia Teaiwa
I maaku
You told me ba ko tangirai
I maaku
I maaku
My arms were awkward so ko taua baiu
I maaku
I maaku
The dancer trembles because te ruoia is a kind of sorcery
I maaku
I maaku
The frigate birds fly high above us and I’m afraid of falling
I maaku
