MĀORI KI TE AO LYRICS
He uru kahika ki te wao
He uru tangata ki te pā
Te matemateāone tētahi ki tētahi
Te whiri o ngā hononga o tētahi ki tētahi
VERSE 1
He Māori ahau
Āke, ake
He Tūhoe ahau
Mana Motuhake
Tōku reo
He taketake
He tuku iho
BRIDGE
Kei wareware
Ko wai koe
Nā wai koe
Tō mana
He rangatira
CHORUS
Ue
Mahuta mai rā
E tū e
Horahia
Me tuku e
Te reo Māori ki te ao
VERSE 2
He kākano au
I ruia mai
I te kohu e
Whanake mai ai
Whanawhanaua
Te reanga hou
Kei tūpou
BRIDGE
Kei wareware
Ko wai koe
Nā wai koe
Tō mana
He rangatira
CHORUS

MANAWAWERA/HAKA
Moumou rawa mai
Te kai a te rangatira
E noho tahanga noa
Ko te reo he kāpura
Whakahika I te ahikā roa
O te whatumanawa
He pākairiri nanaiore rā
I te kōmata o te pitomata
Tama tū tama ora
Tama noho tama mate
Mahuta, matika
Maranga mai rā
CHORUS
Ue
Mahuta mai rā E tū e
Horahia
Me tuku e
Te reo Māori ki te ao
English translation
Like a grove of kahikatea trees in the forest
The people stand united in the community
Caring for one another
Nurturing human connection
VERSE 1
I am Māori
Forevermore
I am Tūhoe
Self-determined
My language
It is long-established
Inherited
BRIDGE
Lest you forget
Who you are,
Who you’re descended from
Your legacy
Is of nobility
CHORUS
Push
Rise up
Stand up
Spread it far and wide
Release
The Māori language into the world
VERSE 2
I am a seed
Who was sown
In the mist
And sprang up Multiply
The new generation
Keep your head raised
BRIDGE
Lest you forget
Who you are
Who you’re descended from
Your legacy
Is of nobility
CHORUS
Push
Rise up
Stand up
Spread it far and wide
Release
The Māori language into the world
MANAWAWERA/HAKA
Wasted indeed
Our noble language would be
Merely left idle
The language like a flame
Ignites the enduring fire
Of the soul
It is armor that shields
Fostering true potential
To take action is to live
To hesitate is to die
Rise, stand up
Be upright
CHORUS
Push
Rise up
Stand up
Spread it far and wide
Release
The Māori language into the world
