[Māori] Stackalaya

Lyrics

# STACKALAYA
*Iti noa, iti noa, tae noa ki te mutunga.*

**[INTRO — Marimba Harikoa, Pakipaki Matikara, Pūtōrino Rōrahi]**

Aue-na-na!
E-i-a-i-a!

He moni iti,
He mahere iti.

Nga moemoeā nui
Ka tīmata i tō ringa!

*(E rua ngā pakipaki)*

Pūkei, pūkei-laya!

Aue! Aue!

**[CHORUS — Tīmata Tere Kanikani Afro-House]**

Pūkei, pūkei-laya!
Iti noa, iti noa, tae noa ki te mutunga!

Whakairi iti!
Whakaaro iti!
Mahia tētahi nekehanga pai i tēnei rā!

Pūkei, pūkei-laya!
E-i-a-i-a! E-i-a-i-a!

Tāhuri i te tāhuri,
Rā i te rā,

Hangaia tō anamata i tō ake ara!

**[VERSE 1 — Paoa Afrobeats, Kitā Highlife]**

Ka haere te moni, ka hoki te moni,
Koia te rere o te awa.
Engari ki te whai koe i te mahere,
Tīmata i te mea ka taea e koe.

Ka kī mai a Māmā, “Kaua e tere te piki,
He mea e tipu ake ana i te manaaki me te wā.
Penapena iti i te wā e utua ana koe,
Whakaarohia ngā whiringa i mahia.”

He penapena iti, he whāinga mārama,
Akohia ngā tūraru i mua i te tīmata.
Ehara i te mea ka arahina katoa ki te koura,
Engari he nui atu te uara o te mātauranga i te kī.

Ko Sweefin te ara hou ki te hono,
Ki te penapena, whakawhiti, me te tūhura.
Me ngā taputapu tika me te mōhio,
Ka taea e koe te whakatakoto mahere mō te nui atu.

**[PRE-CHORUS — Whakakotahitanga, Pakipaki Ringa]**

Kaua e tukua te tangata kia tere koe,
Kaua e tukua te tangata kia whiriwhiri māu.

Mahia tō wā, akohia te rerekētanga
I waenga i te kī me te pono.

Rongo i te manawataki, kitea tō taurite,
He ara tō tēnā haere.

Ina hanga koe mō āpōpō,
Tukua he wāhi mō ngā moemoeā!

**[CHORUS — Tīmata Amapiano Pāoro-Drum]**

Pūkei, pūkei-laya!
Iti noa, iti noa, tae noa ki te mutunga!

Whakairi iti!
Whakaaro iti!
Mahia tētahi nekehanga pai i tēnei rā!

Pūkei, pūkei-laya!
E-i-a-i-a! E-i-a-i-a!

Tāhuri i te tāhuri,
Rā i te rā,

Hangaia tō anamata i tō ake ara!

**[POST-CHORUS — Tēnehi Kanikani Viral]**

Pūkei! Pūkei!
Whakahokia te manawataki!

Tāhuri! Tāhuri!
Kaua e wareware i tō mahere!

Pakipaki! Pakipaki!
Kanikani katoa!

Pūkei, pūkei-laya!
Tukua he wāhi mō ngā moemoeā!

**[VERSE 2 — Kaiārahi Wāhine, Pūtōrino Rōrahi, Kitā Kanapa]**

He wahine kei te pakihi,
E whakapau kaha ana kia tupu.
He pāpā e whakaaro ana mō ngā utu kura,
E whakaaro ana ki hea te moni e haere ana.

He tauira me te whakaaro,
He kaihokohoko e neke ana.
He take tō ia tangata
Ki te uru atu ki te pai ake o te oro.

Ko ētahi ka penapena mō te rangi ua,
Ko ētahi ka whakangao mō ngā tau kei te heke mai.
Ko ētahi ka hanga pakihi iti,
Ko ētahi ka whakakore i ngā nama kē.

He moemoeā rerekē me ngā haere rerekē,
He huarahi rerekē ki te tīmata.
Ka tīmata te māia pūtea
Mā te mōhio ki ngā mea kei a koe.

**[PRE-CHORUS — Whakaemi Kapa]**

Kaua e tukua te tangata kia tere koe,
Kaua e tukua te tangata kia whiriwhiri māu.

Mahia tō wā, akohia te rerekētanga
I waenga i te kī me te pono.

Rongo i te manawataki, kitea tō taurite,
He ara tō tēnā haere.

Ina hanga koe mō āpōpō,
Tukua he wāhi mō ngā moemoeā!

**[CHORUS — Tīmata Kanikani Huihuinga]**

Pūkei, pūkei-laya!
Iti noa, iti noa, tae noa ki te mutunga!

Whakairi iti!
Whakaaro iti!
Mahia tētahi nekehanga pai i tēnei rā!

Pūkei, pūkei-laya!
E-i-a-i-a! E-i-a-i-a!

Tāhuri i te tāhuri,
Rā i te rā,

**[BRIDGE — Warm Piano, Children's Choir]**

He iti te pūtea mō āpōpō,
He mahere pai ka whakakāhoretia te mataku.
He pātai ka kawea mai te whakautu,
He iti te mātauranga ka mārama te ao.

Kāore he huarahi kotahi ki te angitu,
Kāore he taunaki mō te tupu.
Engari ka ako tahi tātou,
Ka pai ake ngā kōwhiringa mō te ao.

*(Music fades to finger snaps)*

Hoki whakamuri
