LYRICS -
Ono tekau ngā
(For 60 years)
tau e kōkiri ana
(We fought)
(auē)
mō o mātou tikanga
(For our tradition)
He tata wareware te tuhi toi
(An art nearly forgotten)
i tata ngaro ō mātou ritenga
(Our practice almost lost)
Koropehu ō mātou tōhunga,
(The suppression of our tōhunga)
ka pēhia e te kuīnitanga
(Suppressed by the crown)
I parea mātou e te mana moko
(Our moko protected us)
i āu mahi kino
(From your hate)
Ko te hunga mau moko mātou
(We are the people who wear moko)
E kore koe e mātau (e)
(You don't understand)
Te tikanga tāmoko
(The story in our markings)
Kōrero tuku iho
(The story of our ancestors)
Tāngata Mau Moko
(We are the people who wear moko)
Kua horahia
(You displayed)
e koe te kiri Māori
(Our skin)
hei
whakaaturanga
(As spectacle)
Hoki mai te mana
(We have taken back)
nā te ao taihara
(Our tradition revived by a)
i whakaora
(Criminal world)
(e)
Ka whiua mai rā ō kanohi whakawā
(Your judging eyes try)
kei patu mai
(To hurt us)
Otirā
(But)
ka whakamarua mātou e te moko
(Our moko protects us from)
i tō mauāhara
(Your hate)
Ko te hunga mau moko mātou
(We are the people who wear moko)
E kore koe e mātau (e)
(You don't understand)
Te tikanga tāmoko
(The story in our markings)
Kōrero tuku iho
(The story of our ancestors)
Tāngata Mau Moko
(We are the people who wear moko)
Mau Moko
(Wear moko)
Ko te hunga Mau Moko
(We are the people who wear moko)
Hoki mai te mana
(Restore our mana)
Kō wai mātou ē!
(Who are we!)
Ko nga tangata mau moko mātou
(We are the people who wear moko)
Kīhai koe e māmara
(You don't understand)
Ō mātou kōrero tuhi kiri
(The story in our markings)
Ō mātou kōrero tuku iho!
(The story of our ancestors!)
Ko te hunga Mau Moko
(We are the people who wear moko)
Ko te hunga mau moko mātou
(We are the people who wear moko)
E kore koe e mātau (e)
(You don't understand)
Te tikanga tāmoko
(The story in our markings)
Kōrero tuku iho
(The story of our ancestors)
Tāngata Mau Moko
(We are the people who wear moko)
