Kia Hora Te Marino - Christopher Tin

Kia hora te marino

Kia whakapapa pounamu te moana

Kia tere te rohirohi

Kia hora te marino

Te marino ara

Mo ake tonu ake

Ka tuhoa te ra

Ka wairara, ka hinga

Hutia te rito

Hutia te rito o te harakeke

Kei hea te komako e ko?

Ki mai ki ahau

He aha te mea nui i te ao?

Maku e ki atu e

He tangata (katoa), he tangata, he tangata ei!

Tihei mauri ora

A whiti whano hara mai te toki

Humie e hui e taiki e!

Let there be calm

Let the sea be made of greenstone

Get tired quickly

Let there be calm

Calm way

For ever and ever

The day will be shared

It withers and falls

Pull out the rito

Pull out the rito of the harakeke

Where is the comma that is?

Tell me

What is important in the world?

I would say that

A man (all), a man, a man that!

This is a living being

The ax almost crossed sin

Humie e hui e taiki e!
