This song title translates to “Confiscated” and regards the 1863 New Zealand colonial government’s passing of a law enabling the confiscation of lands from anyone they deemed to be ‘rebels.’
In this way, millions of acres were stolen from their Maori owners, plunging these communities into poverty...
Raupatu Lyrics
[Chorus]
Nā te Tiriti
Te tino, tino rangatiratanga
O o ratou whenua
Tino, tino rangatiratanga
O ratou kainga
Tino rangatiratanga
Me o ratou taonga katoa
[Verse]
Waikato Awa
He piko, he taniwha
Kingi Tawhiao
Me Wiremu Tamihana
Ki Rangiriri e tū ana
Ko Te Whiti o Rongomai
Ki Parihaka e noho ana
Raupatu!
[Chorus]
Nā te Tiriti
Te tino, tino rangatiratanga
O o ratou whenua
Tino, tino rangatiratanga
O ratou kainga
Tino rangatiratanga
Me o ratou taonga katoa
[Verse]
Raupatu! ... Rangiriri
Raupatu! ... Pukehinahina
Raupatu! ... Taurangaika
Raupatu! ... Parihaka
[Verse]
You take and take
But you cannot take from who we are
You cannot take our mana
You cannot take our māoritanga
You cannot take our people
You cannot take our whakapapa
You cannot take, you cannot take
Raupatu!
