Aroā

Kōngū te tahatū

Pūrehurehu

Ki hea anga ai

Wetea, te whakatau

He haerenga hāngai

Nā ka huri kē

Tē tiro iho rā

Ka rongo whenua

Me he papa mahea

Tau mai aroā

Tō iho te rā

I ōna hua

Ka maru te aotea

Tē kite, auare ake

Hāuaua

Ka anga tonu ai

Tē tiro iho rā

Ka rongo whenua

Te ahunga mai

Me he papa mahea

Te ara ki tua

Tau mai aroā

Te ahunga mai

Te ara ki tua

Aroā (Know How) - a translation

Can’t see the horizon

Covered in a white haze 

Where’s our direction?

Breaking down, our decisions

We were going one way

and now it’s hectic

I don’t need to look down

I can still feel the ground

Where we come from

It’s a blank canvas now

Where we’re going

In the end, we’ll know how...

… long will the sun hide

Holding all the right ways

Beneath the daylight

Can’t see now but it’s alright

I can feel a warm ray

Enough to get by

Where we come from

Where we’re going

Know How

Can’t see the horizon

Covered in a white haze 

Where’s our direction?

Breaking down, our decisions

We were going one way

and now it’s hectic

I don’t need to look down

I can still feel the ground

Where we come from

It’s a blank canvas now

Where we’re going

In the end, we’ll know how...

… long will the sun hide

Holding all the right ways

Beneath the daylight

Can’t see now but it’s alright

I can feel a warm ray

Enough to get by

Where we come from

Where we’re going

Listen

Kia Mau

Ka whiti te rā i runga i te katoa

Ka ua te ua i runga i te tangata

Ahakoa ko wai

Ahakoa nō hea

Ahakoa ōna whakaaro rerekē ki ōku ake

Pūmau ki te aroha

Ko tēnei te rongoa

Kia mau ki te rongo

Kia mau ki te aroha

Kia kaha ki te whakarongo

Kia mārama

He tapu te tangata

He tapu tōna mana

Kia mau ki te rongo

Ki te aroha

Aroha

Aroha

Aroha

Kia mau ki te rongo

Kia mua, kia mau!

Kia Mau - a translation

The sun shines on everyone

The rain falls on everyone

No matter who they are

No matter where they’re from

Even though their opinions might be different to mine

Hold on to love

This is the solution

Hold on to/Lay hold of peace

Hold on to/Lay hold of love

Be careful to listen

To understand

Every person is sacred

And so is their mana

Hold on to/Lay hold of peace 

And love

Love

Love

Love

Hold on to/Lay hold of peace 

Hold on, hold on!
