lyrics

WHAKAOREORE
He aha ra te kaupapa o taku waiata? 
Māku rā e kī atu,

He whakaoreore
He whakaoreore
He whakaoreore
He whakaoreore
He whakaoreore
He whakaoreore
 
He whakaoreore i ā koe 
He whakaoreore i te Māori
I te ao, i te pō, i ngā wā katoa 
Me oreore 
Kaua e ngoikore 
Whakaoreore i ā koe 

He whakaoreore
He whakaoreore
He whakaoreore
He whakaoreore
He whakaoreore
He whakaoreore

Whakaoreore i te tinana 
Whakatūtū i te mauri 
Whakaohooho i te wairua 
Whakakoikoi i te hinengaro 
Whakakakapa i te ngākau 
Whakaoreore i ā koe 

Ko te whakataukī ā rātau mā 
‘Mauri moe ka mate 
Mauri tū, mauri ora’ 
Nāreira te noho noa 
Te tākotokoto noa 
Maranga mai rā 
Matika mai rā 

He whakaoreore
He whakaoreore
He whakaoreore
He whakaoreore
He whakaoreore
He whakaoreore
 
Kia oho 
Kia tū 
Kia matāra 
Kia oreore 
Kia oho 
Kia tū 
Kia matāra 
Kia oreore 
Kia oho 
Kia tū 
Kia matāra 
Kia oreore
