Tipuna Rakau from PIKIPIKI by Geneva AM

Tipuna Rakau

He kakano mātou,
o ngā tipuna rakau x2

Kaua e wareware
Te Ahi Kā kare

Ka haere tonu atu
ki ngā wāheke

Chorus
Huri atu tonu mai,
Te Ao Hurihuri
Heke ana mai te Ua,
O Ranginui
Tu tonu mai koe,
Kia Papatuanuku x2

He kakano mātou,
o ngā tipuna rakau x2

Kaua e wareware
Te Ahi Kā kare

Ka haere tonu atu
ki ngā wāheke

Chorus
Huri atu tonu mai
Te Ao hurihuri
Heke ana mai te Ua
O Ranginui
Tu tonu mai koe
Kia Papatuanuku x3

Ka haere tonu atu
ki ngā wāheke

Ancestor Tree

We are the seeds
Of the Ancestral Trees x2

Do not forget
The Burning Fires (of occupation) my friend

We are moving toward
The future times

Chorus
Spinning away continuously
The Changing World
The rain falls
Of the Skyfather
You remain standing
On Mother Earth x2

We are the seeds
Of the Ancestral Trees x2

Do not forget
The Burning Fires (of occupation) my friend

We are moving toward
The future times

Chorus
Spinning away continuously
The Changing World
The rain falls
Of the Skyfather
You remain standing
On Mother Earth x3

We are moving toward
The future times
