[Maori] One Voice One Future

Lyrics

[Intro – Adlibs / Chant]  
Āe-āe (e-e)  
Kāore e mutu te haere (kāore e mutu)  
Ka ara ake te whakatipuranga (ara ake!)  
Kotahi te reo, kotahi te ao!

[Verse 1]  
Mai i te ara ki te ao, ka kake ake,  
Ka wetewete te moemoeā, ka whakanui.  
Pūtea rere — kāore he tatau, kāore he pakitara,  
Ringa ki te ringa, ka ara ake, ka tū pakari.

[Pre-Chorus]  
Kāore e ngenge, kāore e hinga,  
Ka karanga te ao — ka whakautu katoa.  
Ko te moemoeā a te hunga whakaaro,  
Tū kotahi, kei ngā wāhi katoa.

[Chorus – Anthem Hook]  
🌍 Kotahi te reo, kotahi te ao,  
Te ahi o te aroha, ka piki ake.  
Ngā moemoeā e whiti ana,  
Koinei tō mātou wā, ka hono kaha.  
Kotahi te reo, kotahi te ao,  
Mai te rāwhiti ki te uru.  
Te kaha o te aroha, kāore he whakataetae,  
Ka neke whakamua tēnei whakatipuranga.

[Verse 2]  
Ka menemene, ka waiata ngā wāhine o te mākete,  
Ko te ngākau mamati e pāorooro ana.  
Kāore e mahue, ka kawea te katoa,  
Mai i te whenua ki te rangi, ka tū pakari.

[Pre-Chorus]  
Kāore e ngenge, kāore e hinga,  
Ka karanga te ao — ka whakautu katoa.  
Ko te moemoeā a te hunga whakaaro,  
Tū kotahi, kei ngā wāhi katoa.

[Chorus – Anthem Hook]  
🌍 Kotahi te reo, kotahi te ao,  
Te ahi o te aroha, ka piki ake.  
Ngā moemoeā e whiti ana,  
Koinei tō mātou wā, ka hono kaha.  
Kotahi te reo, kotahi te ao,  
Mai te raki ki te tonga.  
Te kaha o te aroha, kāore ngā pātai,  
Ka whakaarahia ngā reo, ka waiata kaha!

[Bridge – Chant / Call & Response]  
Whakatū ringa (ringa ki runga!)  
Whakatū ngākau (ngākau pono!)  
Ka whiti te ora,  
Ka kake tahi mātou.  
Te arahi o te aroha, kei konei te ao,  
Kotahi te reo e ara ake ana.

[Final Chorus – Repeat with Energy]  
🌍 Kotahi te reo, kotahi te ao,  
Te ahi o te aroha, ka piki ake.  
Ngā moemoeā e whiti ana,  
Koinei tō mātou wā, ka hono kaha.  
Kotahi te reo, kotahi te ao,  
Kua tae mai tō mātou āpōpō.  
Te aroha e kake ake, kaha,  
Kua tae mai te wā o tō mātou whakatipuranga!
