lyrics

HUIA

Kua ngaro ki te pō
Ēngari kei te karanga tonu to mana
He mana, mana rangatira
He mana ka raranga ngā tira, ngā hau e whā
Kia kaha Aotearoa

Tukua
Tēnei manu
Tukua tēnei manu
Kia rere

Mā ngā kahukura
Tēnei manu
Mā ngā kahukura tēnei manu
Ka rere

E rere, e rere
Te manu rangatira
Ānei he tūhunga
Ki runga i a mātou e

E rere, e rere
Te mana rangatira
Ānei he tūhunga
I te kōtahitanga

A HUIA TRANSLATION

Though lost to us
We can still hear your call
A prestigious song, the song of a leader
One that knows how to weave a people together
We can do this Aotearoa

Let
This bird
Let this bird
Fly

By its feathers
This bird
By its feathers this bird
Will fly

Fly, fly
Prestigious bird
You can land here
On all of us

Fly, fly
Prestiginuity
You can land here
On our unity
