Matangerengere

I can't see past the fog

Even though I know it all

It's hard to see the beauty

Of Hinepūkohurangi

When I can't see you

I don't know why you think I'm dumb

I'm really trying to understand

I just don't why you don't get it sometimes

you can promise me that it's not true

I need help to change my view

It plays my mind

E te tau o taku ate

Taku matangerengere

Tākiritia te rangi haeata

Ka pūrangiaho, ka mārama

He waka kōrero, he waka wānanga

tāua kia tāua, e te tau.

Ngā pōkaikaha, ngā tautohetohe

Ngā ara rau o Tangaroa e tū rehurehu nei.

Kāti, kia mau te rongo, kia tau te āio.

Ko tō manawa ki taku manawa he aroha mau roa. 

E te tau o taku ate

Taku matangerengere

When i cant see past the fog

Cause i don't know it all

i'll try to see the beauty

Of Hinepūkohurangi 

When I see you

E te tau o taku ate
