Maori lyrics

E Te Pouaka Whakaata Māori!

Kāore koa taku hōhā
Te kūhīhī nei i roto i ahau
Ka ngau ki taku puku, a haha!

Kīia mai nei koe ko Whakaata Māori
Engari huri kē ana, kua Pākehā kē ngā whakaaro
Te atawhai nei ki te tūraki, ki te haehae
Ki te patu i te Māori ki raro
Ki te pūranga paru, a haha!
Hōhonu kakī, tē ngata te hiahia
Auē taukuri e!

Torona kei waho! Kei waho kei te rau mamao, hi!

Tahi ka riri, toru ka whā!

Homai ō kupu mō Awanuiārangi
Kia wetewetea! Wetewetea!
Ara tū, ara tē, ara tau!

Tahi ka riri, toru ka whā!

Homai ō kupu mō Te Kōhanga Reo
Kia wetewetea! Wetewetea!
Ara tū, ara tē, ara tau!

Tahi ka riri, toru ka whā!

Homai ō kupu mō taku Kīngi, mō tana whānau
Mō tana tama a Korotangi kia wetewetea!
Wetewetea! Ara tū, ara tē, ara tau hā!

Kīia mai nei koe, nā tātou!
Kīia mai nei koe, mā tātou!
Kīia mai nei koe, mō tātou!
E hawa, e hawa!

E Te Pouaka Whakaata Māori!

Noho tonu koe i roto i te pouaka!
He pouaka whakaata te pouaka!
He pouaka makariri te pouaka!
Puta mai koe i te pouaka!

Inā riwha kore, pouakatia!
Inā riwha kore, taupokihia!
Inā riwha kore, tāpukengia!
Kia tupuria e te tupu hōu
Hōu, hōu, hōu ake nei!

Ara tū, ara tē, ara tau!
Whakawetohia, hi!

He titonga anō nā
