[Māori] Flow

Lyrics

[Intro]  
Oh na-na, maranga, whiti mai, Awherika!  
Ngā moni e nuku, ka whai huarahi!  
Ka ārahia e Sweefin, mātaki i te ara piki,  
Te ia o te whenua, rongo i te rangi!

[Verse 1]  
Mai i te kāinga ki ngā rama o te tāone,  
Ka nuku ngā mahi, mārama te tirohanga.  
Ka rere te hokohoko, ka huaki ngā tatau,  
whakakāukati kore, ka wātea.  
Oh, mai i Accra ki te whanake o Nairobi,  
Ka whakatakoto te ara ki te tupu.  
Kia mau tō ringa, ka tū, ka piki tātou,  
Hanga taonga puta noa i te whenua.

[Chorus]  
Oh-oh, ngā moni e nuku mō te whenua o te whaea,  
Kanikani ki te rōria, tū te iwi.  
Mai i te aukatinga, pakaru te taiepa,  
Whakahirahira ake te katoa.  
Oh-oh, maranga, kanikani, kei tō ringa,  
Te reo o Awherika, whakarongo ki te rōpū.  
Ngā rangi o Sweefin, e kawe ana i te tūmanako i tēnei pō,  
Ngā moni e nuku, mārama te ao āpōpō.

[Verse 2]  
Kore whakakore i te tāne, kore waiho i te kuīni,  
Ka kite te ao, ka whai tikanga anō tātou.  
Ngā rere o te pūtea, huaki te kūaha,  
Whaimutu te rawakore, ka hanga anō.  
Oh e te whaea, kata, ka tupu tō tamaiti,  
Ngā kākano o Sweefin, kia kitea te hua.  
Ngā moni e nuku, oh mārama te rangi,  
Hīmene o te kairangatira i ngā wāhi katoa!

[Bridge]  
Rongo i te rōria, kia rere,  
Mai i Cape Town ki te Awa o te Nile.  
Ngā moni e nuku i ngā tiriti katoa,  
Mātaki i te rōria e hiki ana i ō waewae.  
Ka ara ngā iwi, ora te moemoeā,  
Ka ora ngā kaha o Sweefin.  
Hokohoko me te whakawhirinaki i ngā whenua katoa,  
Mahi tahi, ka hora.

[Chorus]  
Oh-oh, ngā moni e nuku mō te whenua o te whaea,  
Kanikani ki te rōria, tū te iwi.  
Mai i te aukatinga, pakaru te taiepa,  
Whakahirahira ake te katoa.  
Oh-oh, maranga, kanikani, kei tō ringa,  
Te reo o Awherika, whakarongo ki te rōpū.  
Ngā rangi o Sweefin, e kawe ana i te tūmanako i tēnei pō,  
Ngā moni e nuku, mārama te ao āpōpō.

[Outro]  
Oh āe, whakarerehia te pūtea,  
Mā te ringa katoa, whakaatu te aroha.  
E ara ana a Awherika, oh tino nui,  
Kia kotahi te nuku, e whai ringa ana te ringa.  
Na-na, na-na, kanikani i tēnei pō,  
Ngā moni e nuku, mārama te rama.  
Te ia o te whenua, te huarahi o Sweefin,  
Ka whiti te āpōpō mai i te rangi o tēnei rā!
