Ngā iwi e - Waiata by Hirini Melbourne 1984

Ngā iwi e, ngā iwi e
Kia kotahi ra
Te Moana-Nui-a-Kiwa
(x2)
E-i-a-i-e!
(Whakarongo Tautoko)
E-i-a-i-e!
Kia mau rā, kia mau rā
Ki te mana motuhake
Me te aroha
(x2)
E-i-a-i-e!
(Whakarongo Tautoko)
E-i-a-i-e!
Wahine mā, wahine mā
Maranga mai, maranga mai
Kia kaha
E-i-a-i-e!
(Whakarongo Tautoko)
E-i-a-i-e!
E tama mā, e tama mā
Tama tū, tama tū
Tama ora!
(x2)
E-i-a-i-e!
(Whakarongo Tautoko)
E-i-a-i-e!
People, people
Unite as one
Like the Pacific Ocean
E-i-a-i-e!
(Listen, Support!)
E-i-a-i-e!
Hold fast, hold fast
To your sovereignty
And to love and compassion
E-i-a-i-e!
(Listen, Support!)
E-i-a-i-e!
Women everywhere
Rise up, rise up
Be strong
E-i-a-i-e!
(Listen, Support!)
E-i-a-i-e!
Men everywhere
Stand strong, stand strong
Stand strong in life!
E-i-a-i-e!
(Listen, Support!)
E-i-a-i-e!
