Here are the lyrics: Tu tangata, mahea, tangi tonu ahau, Tu tangata, mahea, tangi tonu ahau. I tona waietu totara koe, piomahaki ana e, Whakakoana i te ahi o, tangi ana hou, Mana mai nga tipuna, potatau kia mau, Tu tangata, mahea, tangi tonu ahau. I nga te i te ahau kapapa, tu te i, te kura e, Tu tangata, mahea, tangi tonu ahau, Once I stood like a Totara tree, gently swaying in the breeze, I hear a whisper in the air, and I cry. I feel my tipuna everywhere, even next to me, Proud & noble, strong & free and still I cry. Tu tangata, mahea, tangi tonu ahau, Tangi tonu ahau, aue! Tu tangata, mahea, tangi tonu ahau.

[@manawaenterprises8360]

Tū tangata, māhea, tangi tonu ahau Tū tangata, māhea, tangi tonu ahau I tōnā wā i tū totara koe Pioi māhaki ana e Whakakoanga i te āio Tangi ana ahau Pā ana mai ngā tipuna Pā tata ki ahau Tū tangata māhea tangi tonu ahau I mate i te au tāpapa Tū te- te kura e Tū tangata māhea tangi tonu ahau Ngā mihi- I think these kupu would be more correct. Sorry- I didn't know them, but knew the above translation was wrong, just so you beautiful mokos can sing i te reo. Mauriora.

[@eileenrehu4922]

Every day that I awaken I am grateful to be alive. But I am so humbly grateful to have been born of Maori decent to this beautiful country called Aotearoa. No matter where I am on this planet. I know where the best place on earth is. I sometimes wonder what this beautiful country will be like in years to come. We are doing okay being caretakers . . . . only just though. Respect the taonga that is AOTEAROA so that our garndchildren may enjoy it after we have passed on

[@NH-xg1vj]

Eileen Rehu pai ka mea, Ahau o Tainui, a Ngāpuhi, a ora i roto i te USA whanau taku tama i konei, a ka mohio ahau, ka korero Maori ki a ia i nga ra katoa taku tama, ka mohio tonu te wahi e ona pakiaka.
