Kai Tangata Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Waewae tapu takahi te ara taua
Ka hopungia e maha nga upoko
Ka hopungia e maha taurekareka
E mahi nga mahi a Tūmatauenga
[Chorus]
Anei rā
Te uhi o Mataora
Pai tuarā
Te kokongapere
Nga rape
Te kitemaimairu
Tatua taua
Nga tā moko puhoro
Anei nga tohu a Tūmatauenga
[Verse 2]
He pakanga nunui mo te whakautu
Tae mai nga tūpuna mo te whakaāwhina
Kia mau nga Tohunga mo te whakakarakia
E mahi nga mahi a Tūmatauenga
[Chorus]
Anei rā
Te uhi o Mataora
Pai tuarā
Te kokongapere
Nga rape
Te kitemaimairu
Tatua taua
Nga tā moko puhoro
Anei nga tohu a Tūmatauenga
[Refrain]
A Tūmatauenga
A Tūmatauenga
A Tūmatauenga
A Tūmatauenga
Mahi nga mahi a Tūmatauenga
Mahi nga mahi a Tūmatauenga
Mahi nga mahi a Tūmatauenga
Mahi nga mahi a Tūmatauenga
[Verse 3]
Whakatangi o nga pū, whakapatu nga taiaha
Te kikokiko rekareka ō aku hoariri
Nga umu whakakīa tātau kōpū ki te utu
E mahi nga mahi a Tūmatauenga
[Chorus]
Anei rā
Te uhi o Mataora
Pai tuarā
Te kokongapere
Nga rape
Te kitemaimairu
Tatua taua
Nga tā moko puhoro
Anei nga tohu a Tūmatauenga
[Refrain]
Waewae tapu takahi te ara taua
Waewae tapu takahi te ara taua
Waewae tapu takahi te ara taua
Waewae tapu takahi te ara taua
