[Māori] Data to Dollars

Lyrics

[Intro]
Aue, tirohia ake,
Moemoeā ka kitea e te whatu.
Swifin arahi, hono te tawhito me te hou,
Raraunga ka huri hei taara, kōrero ka korerotia.
Ko Mama e hokohoko ana i te toa,
Ko Papa e tu ana i tana moemoeā.
Ngā ara matihiko kei roto i a mātou ringa,
Kāore he here i runga i tō mātou whenua.
Mai i te waea ki te atamira o te ao,
Ka peke te moni mai i te whārangi ki te whārangi.
Ko te marama o Swifin e whakakā ana i ngā rārangi katoa,
Whakamanahia ngā ngākau, tirohia mātou e whiti ana.

[Chorus]
Aue, mai i te raraunga ki te taara ka eke,
Kanikani me te tūmanako, ka tuki ngā anamata.
Ka whakaarahia mātou e Swifin i te ao, i te pō,
Whakaurutanga te pūngao o ngā pakanga katoa.
Aue, te pāorooro o te huringa, rangona ana,
Ka rere te moni, waiho te wehi.
Kāore he tangata e mahue, ka taea e te katoa te piki,
Mai i te raraunga ki te taara, rangi tuwhera.
Pā te mata, mātaki i te tupu o te waimarie,
Ngā pakitara o inanahi, ka turakina e mātou.
Hono i ngā iwi, hono i ngā ngākau,
He pana matihiko, te tīmatanga o te herekore.
Wahine e ara ana, e ārahi ana i te marama,
Wairua taitamariki e whai mana ana.
Ko te ara o Swifin he haumaru, he kaha,
Ka huri te raraunga hei waiata.

[Bridge]
Āe rā, tukua te wairua kia neke,
Kanikani mō te tūmanako, te moemoeā e whakamātau ana.
E whā tekau moni, kotahi te awhi,
Mai i ngā kākano ā-rohe ki te ao whānui.

[Chorus]
Aue, mai i te raraunga ki te taara ka eke,
Kanikani me te tūmanako, ka tuki ngā anamata.
Ka whakaarahia mātou e Swifin i te ao, i te pō,
Whakaurutanga te pūngao o ngā pakanga katoa.
Aue, te pāorooro o te huringa, rangona ana,
Ka rere te moni, waiho te wehi.
Kāore he tangata e mahue, ka taea e te katoa te piki,
Mai i te raraunga ki te taara, rangi tuwhera.

[Outro]
Aue, me whakanui tātou,
Ngā pakitara ka pakaru, kāore i te mutunga.
Swifin e whiti ana, ngā kanohi ki āpōpō,
Mai i te raraunga ki te taara, ka waiho te pōuri.
Hikina ō ringa, kei te kanikani tātou i te herekore,
He ao māramatanga mōu, mōku hoki.
