Lyrics

[Verse 1]  
Alaa no fahi, rae no fahi, jena nane ehi,  
Koi no taura ruri, moku no rangi.  
Keia no tohi i te kora, hiri no mauri,  
I te ao tuitui, mātou e rangi.

[Pre-Chorus]  
Tīmata te pāpā o te ora, te kaha i roto i a mātou,  
Kāore e pātea ngā here o te hiakai, te wehi, me te mamae.  
He ringa ki te hāpai i te hunga, he marama e ārahi,  
Sweefin te karanga ki a tātou—whakatūwhera ki te rā hou.

[Chorus]  
E tū mātou, he whānau kaha,  
Te moemoeā e noho mai ana.  
E hāpai ana i te tini, te kaha i roto i ā mātou ngākau,  
Kāore e waiho tetahi i muri, ka tīmata tātou.  
Mā Sweefin, ka hanga tātou i te ao pono,  
He nui mō te katoa, mōku, mōu.

[Verse 2]  
Mō te whaea e whai ana i te hope, mō te pāpā e rapu ana i te rongo,  
Mō te tamaiti e piki ana te wairua, e kore e mutu ana ngā moemoeā.  
Mai i ngā kainga ki ngā tāone, mai i ngā maunga ki ngā moana,  
Sweefin e tuwhera ana i ngā tatau ki te katoa, he āheinga mutunga kore.

[Pre-Chorus]  
Te mana kei roto i a mātou, e tu ana mātou i runga,  
Tahi ka tuhinga anō i ngā kōrero, me te hāpai i ia wairua.  
He moni o te pono, he whakawhitinga e tuku ana i a mātou,  
Sweefin te anamata, kei reira katoa e tika ana.

[Chorus]  
E tū mātou, he whānau kaha,  
Te moemoeā e noho mai ana.  
E hāpai ana i te tini, te kaha i roto i ā mātou ngākau,  
Kāore e waiho tetahi i muri, ka tīmata tātou.  
Mā Sweefin, ka hanga tātou i te ao pono,  
He nui mō te katoa, mōku, mōu.

[Bridge]  
Titiro ki ngā ora e pā te rongo, ngā ringa e mau ana,  
Te pāmu, te moemoeā, he anamata māmā.  
He aroha o te whaea, he māhaki o te pāpā,  
I te ao e taea ana e ngā moemoeā katoa.

[Chorus]  
E tū mātou, he whānau kaha,  
Te moemoeā e noho mai ana.  
E hāpai ana i te tini, te kaha i roto i ā mātou ngākau,  
Kāore e waiho tetahi i muri, ka tīmata tātou.

[Outro]  
Sweefin te ngākau, te karanga e whakaae ana mātou,  
He hurihanga ao e whiti ana i te ara.  
Mai i te whakakāinga ki te hāpai, me te waiata tērā—  
Tahi ka whakarereke i te ao, mō āke tonu atu.
