Lyrics
Intro
E haka mai, e hoa
(ah-eh, ah-eh)
Verse
Tokorua o ngā pūkete e whakawhiti nei taku whakaaro
He tamaiti tekau mā rua, te tau, kei ōna ringa te ao
E mataku ana i te karu, i te kanohi ka kite
He makawe e tokoiti ana, he pātai i roto i te rā
Pre-chorus
Kia āta whakarongo, e te rangi, e te whenua
Kia waiho māu te wairua, ko koe tonu tōu ake reo
Chorus
Aroha mai, aroha mai (aroha, aroha)
Kaua e whakamā, kaua e whakamā (kāo, kāo)
Ko koe tonu, ko koe tonu (ko koe, ko koe)
He kiri, he wairua — he tangata ngākau kaha
Verse
E haere ana te kura, e kī ana ngā hoa mōhio
He pātai i roto i ngā karu, ka pākia e te wera
Ka kimihia he āwhina, he kupu whakatau
Nāku te ringa, nāku te mihi, kei konei ahau ki te tango i te moro
Pre-chorus
Kia mau te whakatō, kia pakari tōu manawa
Kia mōhio mai koe, ehara koe i āu makawe anake
Chorus
Aroha mai, aroha mai (aroha, aroha)
Kaua e whakamā, kaua e whakamā (kāo, kāo)
Ko koe tonu, ko koe tonu (ko koe, ko koe)
He kiri, he wairua — he tangata ngākau kaha
Bridge
Ka waiata mātou mōu, e piri tonu nei (e piri)
Ko te ao e whakarongo ana, ko te ao e tautoko ana
He ringa, he atawhai, he pārekareka i te aroha
Kaua e pouri, ka whiti anō tō rā
Chorus
Aroha mai, aroha mai (aroha, aroha)
Kaua e whakamā, kaua e whakamā (kāo, kāo)
Ko koe tonu, ko koe tonu (ko koe, ko koe)
He kiri, he wairua — he tangata ngākau kaha
Chorus
Aroha mai, aroha mai (aroha, aroha)
Kaua e whakamā, kaua e whakamā (kāo, kāo)
Ko koe tonu, ko koe tonu (ko koe, ko koe)
He kiri, he wairua — he tangata ngākau kaha
Outro
E haere atu rā — ka hoki mai anō
Kia mau, kia kaha, kia tū te manawa
