Hi! Thank you so much for your interest and passion for the music.
I just want to gently clarify something very close to my heart:

Though I personally do not belong to an Indigenous Taiwanese tribe, I’m proud to be Taiwanese ..... and many of my dear friends are from Indigenous communities with Austronesian roots.

This song is not me speaking for them
It’s me standing beside them.
It’s a heartfelt tribute, created with love, respect, and the hope of sharing their beautiful traditions .... like millet wine (kavava), rituals, and rhythms.....with the world.

I know that this song alone may not fully capture the depth and spirit of Taiwan’s Indigenous cultures.
But it’s something I truly wanted to try.....as a way to honor, appreciate, and introduce their stories to a wider audience through sound.

Through music, I want more people to hear their voice, feel their spirit, and learn about the richness of Taiwan’s Indigenous heritage.
It’s not appropriation ..... it’s appreciation.
And it’s an open invitation to listen with heart.

Thank you for understanding and dancing with us.
With respect,
Maybe

[Intro]
*Ka tū te ihiihi, ka tū te wana!*
（勇氣起、魂覺醒！）
「小米開花，祖靈回家」
"This ain't a prayer—this is a roar."

[Verse 1]
我不是溫柔的神話
我是火裡釀的詩
不靠淚水洗禮
靠山脈的怒吼在呼吸
吞下小米的火
腳踏祖靈的歌
Let the haka stomp,
Let the spirits talk.

[Chorus – 合唱]
I rise – for the ones before me
I roar – with the soul inside me
Millet in my blood, Haka in my bones
祖靈唱我名，不再孤單行！

[副副歌]
喝！喝！喝小米酒！
Thunder feet, wild and bold!
喝！喝！喝小米酒！
Boom like gods, lose control!

[Bridge]
He tangata, he tangata…
（是人，是我們，是所有記得的人）
Raise your feet, slam the ground,
祖靈的門就此打開！

[Final Outro]
Rain on the graves,
祖先說話了。
"Maybe… your song is the way home."
