Maiea (feat. Megan Henderson)

Tigeadh solas an latha,

Gun dàil, gun tàmh a’ tighinn,

Sìth

Caoidh na h-anman caillte

Bheir deò nan sgamhain a-rithist.

Tēnei te ara whakahonohono i te rangi ki te whenua

i te whenua ki te rangi,

i te ao kikokiko ki te ao wairua, wai nuku, wairangi wai aio.

I tipu ai te mahara I pu ai te mauri

wai nuku, wai rangi, mauri nui

mauri roa

mauri taketake

mauri mata ngaro

mauri matua kore

mauri te timatanga

mauri te mutunga

mauri i honoa ai koe ki te ao tawhito

ki te ao tūnekeneke

ki te ao tūroa

Caoidh na freumhan mar an ceudn’,

air an reubadh às an talamh,

Sìth

Cuir an sìol a leigheas,

Gus gach creuchd a shlànachadh

Oi, ka takina te mauri,

i a Rongo i te orooro

i a Rongo i te oromea

Purua tō taringa e tama e kia turi, kia hoi

Kei whakarongo koe ki te kōrero iti

Ki te mūhari

Ki te kaioraora

Ki te tānoanoa

e hū ake ai

a Tū-ka-nguha

a Tū-ka-riri

a Tū-ka-āritarita

Te mara Pohutu atu e

Tēnei kakau, tēnei kakau

Maiea te tipua

Maiea te tawhito

Maiea te kāhui o ngā ariki

Maiea tawhiwhi atu ki ngā atua

Cuir creideas anns an àl,

mar a dh’fhàsas iad gu ceann,

Sìth

’s dèan slighean ùra,

mar a shruthas eas nam beann.

Oi, ka takina te mauri

Tēnei te kawa ruruku i a Rongo

Kia whēuka ā runga

Kia whēuka ā raro

Kia tupu he toka

He toka mata-te-rā(15) He toka mata tera

E ū mai ai te mauri tau

Ki roto ki tēnei tauira

Ki roto ki tēnei tauira

Kia puta ia ki te whai ao, ki te ao mārama

Tūturu e Rongo whakamanaia kia tina

Hui e, Taiki e!

Maiea te tipua

Maiea te tawhito

Maiea te kāhui o ngā ariki

Maiea tawhiwhi atu ki ngā atua

Maiea te tipua

Maiea te tawhito

Maiea te kāhui o ngā ariki

Maiea tawhiwhi atu ki ngā atua

Seinneamaid le chèile,

Gu treun a’ seasamh mar aon,

Sìth

’s gum faigh càirdean ’s spiorad nan treubh,

ceartas a tha rèidh air an t-saoghal.

Let the daylight come

and come without delay,

Sith,

Grieve for the lost souls,

help them to breathe again.

Grieve for the roots

torn from the land.

Sith,

Plant the seeds

to heal the sores.

Believe in the young

as they grow,

Sith,

and forge new paths

like the water running of the hills.

Let us sing together,

and stand strong as one.

Sith,

let friends and community spirit,

find justice and peace in the world.
