Lyrics
**[INTRO — Whispered Female Vocal, Rising Synth, African Drums]** Aue-aue-aue... āe-āe! Kua rongohia e au tētahi mea... He mea ātaahua kei te haere mai. Ka rongo koe? Ka rongo koe? *(Pāorooro manawa, kātakataka ringa)* Inaianei, inaianei, inaianei! Haere, haere, haere! Hei-a! Hei-a! Ka tīmata te ao hou i tēnei rā! *(Pāorooro bass)* **[VERSE 1 — Bright, Rhythmic Afrobeats]** Kua rongohia e au ngā kōrero mōu, E kī ana ka tae koe ki te rangi. Ka kitea te ahi e mura ana i roto i a koe, Ka kitea te māia i roto i ō karu. Kua mahi koe i te wā e moe ana te ao, Whakatū ana i ngā moemoeā kāore i kitea. Inaianei, ko ngā tatau i whakaaro koe kua kati, Ka huri hei whai wāhitanga. Mēnā ka taea e au te whakawhiti i te mātauranga, Ka kī atu au ki te ao te mōhiotanga o te hunga moemoeā: Kāore e tatari mō te wā tino pai, Tangohia te hīkoi tuatahi, kia tupu tō anamata. **[PRE-CHORUS — Rising Female Harmonies]** Ko te karanga tēnei a te moemoeā! Ka rongo koe, e kī katoa? Pērā i te manu i runga i te rangi, Whakarererere, ako ki te rere! Rongo i te manawataki i roto i tō wairua, Whakaatu i ō tae huna. Kotahi atu hīkoi, kaua e whakaroa, Ka tīmata tō āpōpō i tēnei rā! **[CHORUS — Explosive Global Dance Hook]** Inaianei, inaianei, ko tō tātou wā tēnei! Haere, haere, haere — kua tuwhera te ao! NOWVERSE! NOWVERSE! Rongo i te anamata i ō hīkoi! Hei-ō! Hei-ō! Tukua ō moemoeā kia tākaro! Sweefin! Sweefin! Sweefin! He tirohanga hou, he tīmatanga hou! Inaianei, inaianei — kaua e tatari! Haere, haere, haere — kei te hanga tō ao! NOWVERSE! NOWVERSE! Kia neke katoa ki te āpōpō! **[POST-CHORUS — Signature Viral Dance Chant]** Inaianei-inaianei! (Hei!) Haere-haere! (Hei!) Tangohia te hīkoi, whakaaturia! Runga-runga! (Hei!) Rere-rere! (Hei!) Rongo i te herekore i roto i tō wairua! Na-na-inaianei! Haere-haere-haere! NOWVERSE! Whakamōhiotia te ao katoa! **[VERSE 2 — Female Lead, Bright Highlife Guitar]** Homai he wā poto anake, He kōrero tāku māu ki te whakarongo. He nui ake tō uara i ō āwangawanga katoa, He nui ake koe i ngā mataku o nanahi. Kāore koe e whai kia rerekē, Ka taea koe te tupu hei tangata e taea. He kaupapa nui ia wikitoria iti, Ka tuku herekore ia tīmatanga hou. Tirohia te tawhiti kua haere mātou mai i te tīmatanga, Tirohia ngā kōrero kua tīmata mātou. Ka tīmata a Sweefin i ngā ara hou hei hono, Hei waihanga, hei whakawhiti, hei whakaoti mahi. **[PRE-CHORUS — Choir Builds]** Ko te karanga tēnei a te moemoeā! Ka rongo koe, e kī katoa? Pērā i te manu i runga i te rangi, Whakarererere, ako ki te rere! Rongo i te manawataki i roto i tō wairua, Whakaatu i ō tae huna. Kotahi atu hīkoi, kaua e whakaroa, Ka tīmata tō āpōpō i tēnei rā! **[CHORUS — Full Amapiano Log-Drum Drop]** Inaianei, inaianei, ko tō tātou wā tēnei! Haere, haere, haere — kua tuwhera te ao! NOWVERSE! NOWVERSE! Rongo i te anamata i ō hīkoi! Hei-ō! Hei-ō! [Verse] Waiho ō moemoeā kia tākaro! Sweefin! Sweefin! Sweefin! He tirohanga hou, he tīmatanga hou! Inaianei, inaianei — kaua e tatari! Haere, haere, haere — kei te waihanga tō ao! NOWVERSE! NOWVERSE! Neke atu ki te āpōpō! **[BRIDGE — Emotional Piano, Intimate Female Vocal]** E te tau, maranga mai, whakarongo mai, Kua tae mai te rā hou ki tō tatau. Mēnā i hinga koe, mēnā i taka, Ka taea anō te tū me te whakamātau. Kaua e waiho te mataku hei rangatira, Kaua e tukua te rā o mua kia whakatau. Ka taea e koe te huri i te ara e hīkoi ana koe, Ka kitea e koe te kaha i roto i a koe. Kāore koe e hiahia ki te whakautu tino tika, Kāore koe e hiahia ki te mōhio katoa. Ko ia maunga he takahanga tuatahi, Ko ia haerenga he karanga. *(Music stops — one heartbeat)* **[SPOKEN BREAK — Female Lead]** Whakarongo… Kāore te ao e hiahia ki tētahi atu tauira o tētahi atu. Kei te hiahia te ao i te tino pai rawa atu i a koe. Nā reira, e tatari ana koe mō te aha? *(Crowd shouts)* INAIAANEI! **[DANCE BREAK — Explosive Call-and-Response]** Lead: Āhea tīmata ai? Crowd: Inaianei! Lead: Āhea neke ai? Crowd: Inaianei! Lead: Āhea moemoeā ai? Crowd: Inaianei! Lead: Ko wai ka tīmata? Crowd: Katoa! *(Heavy log-drum drop)* Inaianei! (Aue!) Haere! (Aue!) E rua ngā hīkoi whakamua, tukua kia rere! Huri noa! (Aue!) Ringa ki runga! (Aue!) Toro atu i ō moemoeā ki te rangi! NOWVERSE! NOWVERSE! Rongo i te heke mai i ō hīkoi! *(Extended instrumental Afro-House dance break)* **[FINAL CHORUS — Festival Choir, Full Percussion, Brass]** Inaianei, inaianei — koinei tō mātou wā! Haere, haere, haere — kua tūwhera te ao! NOWVERSE! NOWVERSE! Rongo i te heke mai i ō hīkoi! Hey-oh! Hey-oh! Waiho ō moemoeā kia tākaro! Sweefin! Sweefin! Sweefin! He tirohanga hou, he tīmatanga hou! Inaianei, inaianei — kaua e tatari! Haere, haere, haere — kei te waihanga tō ao! NOWVERSE! NOWVERSE! Neke atu ki te āpōpō! **[OUTRO — Choir, Guitar, Fading Percussion]** Oh-oh-oh… āe-āe! Kua tae
