Lyrics – A Hani E

Verse 1
‘Āhani e ‘e rāve’a
No te fa’aho’i te tau i muri
Hina’aro hoi au e hi’o fa’ahou
Ia ‘oe tō’u metua here

Verse 2
‘Āhiri e ‘e rāve’a
No te fa’ahuri te tau i muri
Hina’aro noa vau e tāpe’a fa’ahou
Ia ‘oe tō’u metua here

Pre-Chorus 1
Ua maoro ho’i te pō e
Terā mahana i topa i ‘oe
Pōiri te fenua ua māmū te natura
O ta’u i mana’o e

Pre-Chorus 2
Ua puta roa tō’u ā’au
(i) Te fa’aro’ora’a vau ua reva ‘oe
Ua māui roa vau i roto ia’u nei
‘Aue tō’u metua here

Chorus
Ua ta’i noa vau ia ‘oe
I te mau mahana ato’a nei
Te vai noa ra ia ‘u nei
Tō ‘oe here e tō’u metua e
Tō ‘oe here e tō’u metua e

Post-Chorus
Ua ta’i noa vau ia ‘oe
I te mau mahana ato’a e
E mihi noa vau tō ‘oe here
Tō’ oe revara’a mai teie nei ao e

Chorus
