Paroles et traduction Maisey Rika feat. Ngā Tauira O Pao Pao Pao, Horomona Horo & Mahuia B C - Taku Mana

Taku Mana

Mai runga ki raro, mai i te whitinga mai o te rā ki te ao mārama
Mai anō, maiea, mai i te kunenga mai o te hua ki te hā tangata
Mihimihia, kawekawea, mākona
(He Atua, he tangata, he Atua, he tangata hi!)
Korōria, whakanuia, hei oranga
(He Atua, he tangata, te aroha e hi!)

Taku mana tiketike taku mana Māori e
I ahu mai i te Atua,
I ahu mai i ōku Tīpuna, i ahu mai i te whenua, te moana e hi!
Taku ihi, taku wehi, taku wanawana

Maioro, maea, maiangiangi he māia tū Rangatira inā mōrearea
Miharo, Maioha, he tāonga te reo, te ao he mokopuna te oranga
Mihimihia, kawekawea, mākona
(He Atua, he tangata, he Atua, he tangata hi!)
Korōria, whakanuia, hei oranga
(He Atua, he tangata, te aroha e hi!)

Taku mana tiketike taku mana Māori e
I ahu mai i te Atua,
I ahu mai i ōku Tīpuna, i ahu mai i te whenua, te moana e hi!
Taku ihi, taku wehi, taku wanawana

Ko au taku mana ko taku mana ko au
(Taku ihi, taku wehi, taku wanawana)
Ko au te whenua, te whenua ko au
(Taku ihi, taku wehi, taku wanawana)
Ko au te moana, te moana ko au
(Taku ihi, taku wehi, taku wanawana)
Ko au taku Mana, ko taku Mana ko au

Korōria, whakanuia

My Mana

From the heavens above, from the rising sun to the light of day
From the beginning, from the conception of the seed to the birth of man
Trembling, quivering, strong
(A God, a man, a God, a man!)
Honour, revere, for life
(A God, a man, love!)

My mana is high, my Māori mana
It came from God,
It came from my Ancestors, it came from the land, the sea!
My power, my fear, my strength

Wise, clever, divine, a warrior who stands tall in times of trouble
Wonderful, beautiful, the language is a treasure, the world is a grandchild of life
Trembling, quivering, strong
(A God, a man, a God, a man!)
Honour, revere, for life
(A God, a man, love!)

My mana is high, my Māori mana
It came from God,
It came from my Ancestors, it came from the land, the sea!
My power, my fear, my strength

My mana is me and my mana is you
(My power, my fear, my strength)
I am the land, the land is me
(My power, my fear, my strength)
I am the sea, the sea is me
(My power, my fear, my strength)
My Mana is me, and my Mana is you

Honour, revere
