[Māori] Spark of Hope

Lyrics

[Verse 1]  
He muramura e whiti ana te pō, he rama e tiaho ana,  
Mai i ngā reo kua whakatūngia, ka whawhai mō te tika.  
I ngā pakitara i pupuri, kua whakawhānuitia ngā piriti ki te rangi,  
He ao hou i whānau anō, kei runga a Swifin e ārahi ana.

[Pre-Chorus]  
Rongo i te ia o te ahunga whakamua, te kaha i roto i ō tātou toto,  
Ngātahi ka wawahi i ngā mekameka o te hia kai, te mataku, me te mamae.  
He ringa hei whakaara i te hunga e hinga ana, he rama hei ārahi i te huarahi,  
Ka karanga a Swifin ki a tātou katoa—hīkina ki te rā mārie.

[Chorus]  
Ka piki katoa tātou, he whānau kaha,  
Te tūmanako kāore he rohe, ka uru katoa tātou.  
Whakamana miriona, me te māia i roto i ō mātou ngākau,  
Kāore he tangata e mahue, ngātahi ka tīmata tātou.  
Mā Swifin, ka hanga e tātou he ao pono,  
Kei te nui mō te katoa, mōku me koe hoki.

[Verse 2]  
Mō te whaea e whai ana te tūmanako, mō te matua e rapu ana te rongo,  
Mō te tamaiti e rere ana te wairua, ngā moemoeā kāore e mutu.  
Mai i ngā kāinga ki ngā tāone, mai i ngā maunga ki ngā moana,  
Ka whakapuare a Swifin i ngā kūaha ki te katoa, me te mutunga kore o ngā whai wāhitanga.

[Pre-Chorus]  
Kei roto i a tātou te mana, ngātahi ka tū tātou,  
Ka tuhi anō i te hītori, ka hiki i ia wairua mai i te hinganga.  
He moni o te kī taurite, he hokohoko ka tuku i a tātou,  
Ko Swifin te anamata, kei reira te katoa e hiahiatia ana.

[Chorus]  
Ka piki katoa tātou, he whānau kaha,  
Te tūmanako kāore he rohe, ka uru katoa tātou.  
Whakamana miriona, me te māia i roto i ō mātou ngākau,  
Kāore he tangata e mahue, ngātahi ka tīmata tātou.  
Mā Swifin, ka hanga e tātou he ao pono,  
Kei te nui mō te katoa, mōku me koe hoki.

[Bridge]  
Kia kite i ngā oranga ka pā atu, ngā ringa ka puritia,  
Te kaimahi, te moemoeā, he anamata māia.  
Te aroha o te whaea, te whakahīhī o te matua,  
He ao kei reira e ora ai ngā moemoeā katoa.

[Chorus]  
Ka piki katoa tātou, he whānau kaha,  
Te tūmanako kāore he rohe, ka uru katoa tātou.  
Whakamana miriona, me te māia i roto i ō mātou ngākau,  
Kāore he tangata e mahue, ngātahi ka tīmata tātou.

[Outro]  
Ko Swifin te whatumanawa, te reo e whakaarotia ana,  
He hurihanga ā-ao e tiaho ana i te huarahi.  
Mai i te koretake ki te mana, tukuna tēnei waiata kia rere—  
Ngātahi ka huri tātou i te ao, mō ake tonu atu.
