MAISEY RIKA lyrics : "Tangaroa Whakamautai"

Te ararau o Tangaroa
E rere ki te papaurunui
(x3)


Tahora nui ātea
Te manawa o te moana

Te mauri o Tangaroa
Tangaroa whakamautai
Tangaroa whakamautai


Tūtara Kauika
He poutiriao

Te wai o Tangaroa
Te wai o Tangaroa


Te tangi a te tohorā
He tohu nō aituā
Te mau a Tangaroa

Te mau a Tangaroa

He kaitiaki

He taonga
He tipua
He ariki

He taniwha
He tipua
He kaitiaki

He taonga
He tipua
Tangaroa whakamautai


Nā Maisey Rika i whakapākehātia.
English translation by Maisey Rika


The various waterways of Tangaroa
Flow back into its voluminous source

(x3)

The vast expanse

The heart of the ocean
The life-force of Tangaroa
Tangaroa commander of the tides


A pod of whales (or in reference to Tūtara Kauika the historical whale guardian ancestor)
A supernatural phenomenon

Evolving from the waters of Tangaroa
The waters of Tangaroa


The cry of the whale
Signals a warning
The power of Tangaroa

The power of Tangaroa
Tangaroa commander of the tides


A guardian
A precious treasure
A strange / supernatural being

A god
Of the ancient prehistoric realm
A guardian

A precious treasure
A strange / supernatural being
Tangaroa commander of the tides.
