Nā Te Māngai Pāho te pūtea tautoko
Apakura - Ngā kupu
Apakura, Matike mai rā
Ko tātou ngā māhuetanga o rātou mā
Whakaorangia te reo rangatira
Ngā kōrero tukuiho me ngā tikanga
E hoki whakamuri kia anga whakamua
Whakaaratia te mana o ngā tūpuna
Hei oranga mō tēnei reanga
Kia ora tō tuākiritanga
Show the world your heart
Kia whitia e te rā
Turuturu whakamaua
Whakamaua kia tīnā! X2
Oranga wairua,
Oranga whenua
Kawea ake ko te mana
Heke iho
Mai i a Apakura
Anō nei ka tā ko manawa
I te ahuareka
I te hīkaka
Mē he Pīniki, Pīpī manu
Whaiora mai i ngā pungarehu
Matike mai e ara!
Tātou mā
Apakura
Whakapākehā:
Apakura rise up
We are their descendants.
Restore the language and the traditions handed down.
Go back, and let's move forward and lift up the force of the ancestors.
For life, for this generation
Keep your identity
Hold on to your identity. It will live on
Show the world your heart.
Let the sun shine.
Established and understood,
Perminently!
Spiritual life
Earthly life
Lift up the power
Descended
From Apakura
Regain the heart/breath
It is pleasurable
It is exciting.
Like the Phoenix
Arising from the ashes
Rise up, take flight!
All of us together, Apakura

I cannot/will not stop listening to this song. One of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. Do I know the lyrics/what they're saying? No. Does it matter? No. The song is beyond moving and the spirit of the message shines through. THANK YOU to everyone involved. Much love from Oakland California.

I understand every word. It is beautiful. The words could stand as an international anthem for all colonised people. Return home
