LYRICS
Words by Marlon Williams and KOMMI
Ko au anake
Ki te waka,
Ki te moana
Kāore kau he matangi
Kāore he aha nei
Titiro mai
Titiro mai!
Te ama!
Ka tāuke atu nei
Aua atu rā
Ka mate au ki te moana mārie
Kāore ōku tūmanako
Kāore he aha nei
Anana e
Anana e!
Te ama!
Ka tāuke atu nei
Aua atu rā
E kore au e hoki anō ki a koe
Kāore e hoki anō ki tō kainga ē
E kore au e hoki anō ki a koe
Kāore e hoki anō ki tō kainga ē
Ko au anake
Ki te waka,
Ki te moana
Kāore kau he matangi
Kāore he aha nei
Aroha mai
Aroha mai!
Te ama!
Ka tāuke atu nei
Aua atu rā
