Te Aka Tamaki Lyrics

I te hohonuhaga o te ruki
Ua pura i te maramarama
I to mateu hipahaga vaho

E Kaito

Ua tika teitei i mua
Te ruaki nei i te auahi
Ua riro to reo e haruru patiri

Pakakinā tu nei

Putuputu te huiraatira no te tapiki atu e
Na to koe rima, e fakakitehaga, po'ia te vero, te higa a te hana

Tupakipaki e hamara e
E rima a te kaito
Te aka o te tamaki e

Tupakipaki e hamara e
E rima a te kaito
Te aka o te tamaki e

Atua-Tū-Roa, Atua-Tū-Roa, Atua-Tū-Roa, Atua-Tū-Roa, Atua-Tū-Roa
Atua-Tū-Roa, Atua-Tū-Roa, Atua-Tū-Roa, Atua-Tū-Roa, Atua-Tū-Roa

E te Atua-Tū-Roa e (Huiii)
A fakararemai i teie poro
E te Atua-Tū-Roa e (Huiii)
A vaiho mai teie kaito

(Aaaahhhgggrrr)

Tupakipaki e hamara e
E rima a te kaito
Te aka o te tamaki e

Tupakipaki e hamara e
E rima a te kaito
Te aka o te tamaki e

THE ROOT OF WAR

In the deepest part of the night
A burst of open light
Made us look way outside

E Kaito (brave warrior chief)

Standing high, forward on the front
He's vomiting fire
His voice is pounding thunder

Destroying

Gather all you people, to get closer
It's your arm, that rises, hungry storm, disappearing sun

Hitting hitting hammer
The arm of the brave warrior
The root of war

Hitting hitting hammer
The arm of the brave warrior
The root of war

God-ever-existing, God-ever-existing, God-ever-existing, God-ever-existing, God-ever-existing
God-ever-existing, God-ever-existing, God-ever-existing, God-ever-existing, God-ever-existing

God ever existing (Huiii)
Hear our calls
God ever existing (Huiii)
We keep the brave warrior amongst

(Aaaahhhgggrrr)

Hitting hitting hammer
The arm of the brave warrior
The root of war

Hitting hitting hammer
The arm of the brave warrior
The root of war


*Atua-Tū-Roa (God ever existing, the eternal God)
