[Marshallese] Upbeyond

Lyrics

# UPBEYOND
*Sweefin Music — mh Version*

**[Intro — Distant Choir, African Drums, Rising Synth]**

Eh-oh, eh-oh!  
Taukia te hiku mai!

Mai i te ara iti ki te miriona,  
Taukia te puoro e patu ana i te tatau.

Oh-ya, oh-ya!  
E rongo ana koe i te iwi e waiata ana?

Piki, piki, ki runga!  
Kia mau te pai i runga!

**[Verse 1 — Percussive Afrobeat Groove]**

I te pō i whiti te rākau i te huarahi,  
I tēnei ata, e te mano nga waewae.  
Ko te hunga kāore i whai ki te kōrero,  
Kei te rapu kupu hei ārahi.

I ngā tuāhuatanga, e hanga ana i ngā tatau,  
I ngā āwangawanga, e pātai ana i te nui.  
Me Sweefin e awhina ana i te iwi ki te hono,  
Ka taea te hanga, te whakawhiti, me te anga whakamua.

Kāore he moemoeā iti hei tīmata i te huringa,  
Kāore he ora tawhiti hei whakarereke.  
Kāore e hiahia ki te tatari mō ngā rangi pai,  
Ka taea te hanga i te wā e tūtaki ana te rā.

**[Pre-Chorus — Handclaps and Rising Harmonies]**

E rongo ana koe? (Rongo!)  
E te mōhio ana koe? (Mōhio!)

E whai ana te pai ki te huri,  
He wāhi mōku, he wāhi mōu.

Tangohia te tūpono, tuku mai te awhina,  
Tukua te moemoeā ki te tū.  
I te ao katoa e waiata ana,  
Ahakoa ngā reo iti, e kaha ana!

**[Chorus — Explosive Global Dance Hook]**

Piki, piki, ki runga!  
Kia mau te pai i runga!

Kia neke tō tinana, waiatahia tēnei waiata,  
Katoa, haere mai!

Piki, piki, ki runga!  
Tukua ngā pakitara tawhito ki te hinga!

Hey-oh, hey-oh, haere mai,  
Tirohia te miriona ngā āheinga e tupu!

Pikibeyond! Pikibeyond!  
Tukua te puoro ki te haere!

Kotahi atu te ringa, kotahi atu te tūpono,  
Tukua te ao katoa ki te kanikani!

**[Post-Chorus — Festival Crowd Chant]**

Oh-ya-ya! Oh-ya-ya!  
Katoa, mea!
