[Māori] Afroflow

Lyrics

**[Intro — African Percussion, Rising Vocals]**

Oh na-na, Akarana e whiti!  
Rongo i te manawataki, i te wā.  
Mai i ngā maunga ki te moana,  
Rongo i te tangi o te tūmanako!

Oh na-na, kia rere noa,  
Mātaki i ngā moemoeā e puāwai ana.  
Sweefin e whakakotahi ana i ngā ngākau,  
Akarana, e ara tahi tātou!

**[Verse 1]**

Mai i ngā ara kāinga ki ngā rama o te tāone,  
He mano moemoeā ka rere i te rangi.  
Ngā kūaha hou e huakina ana, ngā piriti e tipu ana,  
Ka tīmata te rere o te whai wāhitanga.

Mai i ngā tiriti o Accra ki ngā rangi o Nairobi,  
Titiro ki te tūmanako i ngā whatu o te tangata.  
Tangohia tōku ringa, haere mai kanikani tahi,  
Hangaia te anamata e whakapono ana tātou.

Ka huaki te mākete i te ata,  
He rā anō, he waiata anō.  
Ki ia hononga ka hanga e mātou,  
Ka tīmata te āpōpō kanapa te āhua.

**[Pre-Chorus — Building Energy]**

Rongo i te manawataki, rongo i te tangi,  
He tīmatanga hou kei ngā taha katoa.  
Ia moemoeā me whai wāhi,  
Ia ngākau me kanikani.

Mai i te kaipāmu ki te kaihokohoko,  
Mai i te kaihanga ki te kaiwhakaaro,  
Taha ki te taha, ka kimi tātou i te huarahi,  
Ka tīmata te āpōpō i te rā nei!

**[Chorus — Infectious Dance Hook]**

Oh-oh-oh, Afroflow!  
Kia riro i te manawataki te mana.  
Ka neke te moni, ka tipu ngā moemoeā,  
Rongo i te aroha, kia rere noa te whai wāhitanga!

Afroflow, Afroflow,  
Mai i ngā tāone ki ngā kāinga ka haere tātou.  
Ki a Sweefin, kia mōhio te ao katoa,  
Kei te haere ngā moemoeā o Akarana!

Hei-ya, hei-ya, nekehia ō waewae,  
Rongo i te manawataki i te huarahi.  
Oh-oh-oh, kia rere noa,  
Akarana, kanikani ki te Afroflow!

**[Verse 2]**

Kāore he tangata kua warewaretia, kāore he tangata kua mahue,  
He ao o te oati mō te tangata.  
Ka menemene te whaea, ka whakapono te tamaiti,  
I ngā mea katoa ka taea e rāua te whakatutuki.

Ka whakatō te kaipāmu, ka hokohoko te kaihokohoko,  
Ka kitea e te kaihanga taitamariki...
