[Marshallese] The Beat of Change

Lyrics

[Intro]  
Oh na-na, mauri to tāmaki,  
Māu e kite, ko ngā moemoeā.  
Swifin e huri, e hono ana,  
Raraunga ki moni, kōrero mōhio.  
Māmā e mahi ana i te toa,  
Pāpā i te tirohanga, teitei tonu.  
Huarahi matihiko i roto i te ringa,  
Kāore e whai here i tō whenua.  
Mai i te pūkoro ki te pōti ao,  
Moni e piki ana i ngā whārangi.  
Te marama o Swifin e mārama,  
E whakakaha ana i ngā ngākau, e raru.  

[Chorus]  
Oh-oh, mai i te raraunga ki te moni ka haere,  
Tākaro ki te tumanako, ngā wā e pā.  
Swifin e hiki ana i ngā rā, i ngā pō,  
Te whakauru e akiaki ana i ngā pakanga.  
Oh-oh, te pā o te huringa, māmā, mārama,  
Moni e rere ana, kāore e wehi.  
Kāore e waiho, ka piki katoa,  
Raraunga ki moni, te rangi tuwhera.  
Pā i te mata, tirohia ngā rawa,  
Ngā pakitara o ngā rā i pā.  
Te whakakotahi i ngā iwi, e hono ana,  
He pooti matihiko, i te tīmatanga o te mana.  
Ngā wāhine e piki ana, e ārahi ana,  
Ngā wairua rangatahi e tango ana i te tika.  
Ko te huarahi o Swifin he haumaru,  
E huri ana i te raraunga ki te waiata.  

[Bridge]  
Oh āe, waiho te wairua ki te neke,  
Tākaro mō te tumanako, te moemoeā e whakaatu.  
E rima ngā moni, kotahi te awhi,  
Mai i ngā rākau ā-rohe ki te ao whānui.  

[Chorus]  
Oh-oh, mai i te raraunga ki te moni ka haere,  
Tākaro ki te tumanako, ngā wā e pā.  
Swifin e hiki ana i ngā rā, i ngā pō,  
Te whakauru e akiaki ana i ngā pakanga.  
Oh-oh, te pā o te huringa, māmā, mārama,  
Moni e rere ana, kāore e wehi.  
Kāore e waiho, ka piki katoa,  
Raraunga ki moni, te rangi tuwhera.  

[Outro]  
Oh na-na, me whakanui,  
Ngā pakitara e hinga ana, kāore e pā.  
Swifin e whiti ana, ngā karu ki te rā,  
Mai i te raraunga ki te moni, kāore e pā te pouri.  
Whakarei ngā ringa, ka tākaro e te kore,  
He ao mārama mō koe me au.
