Rongo Ki Te Oro

Kei te pupū ake ia rā
Kei te whakarite te iwi
He harikoa, he pouri rā
Me tuku puoro mai nā
Me hoatu he take kia mene te marea
He māmā rā ki tō mārama ai
Tukuna karere kia tae atu
E kaua e pātaia mai
Aue, me rongo ki te oro
Aue, me rongo ki te oro
Aue, me rongo ki te oro ia ra

Don't you feel it growing, day by day
People getting ready for the news
Some are happy, some are sad
Woh, gotta let the music play
What the people need is a way to make 'em smile
It ain't so hard to do if you know how
Gotta get a message, get it on through
Oh now momma don't you ask me why
Whoa, listen to the music Whoa, listen to the music
Whoa, listen to the music All the time

Me he awa puroto noa
Popoti pa ki te rangi
Ka nui ake te marea
E rongo mo te hari tuku rere noa ai
Aue, me rongo ki te oro
Aue, me rongo ki te oro
Aue, me rongo ki te oro ia ra

Aue, me rongo ki te oro Aue, me rongo ki te oro
Aue, me rongo ki te oro ia rā
