[Māori] Live Life

Lyrics

[Intro]

Hmmmm...

Tētahi rā...

Tētahi rā...

Ko te kōrero tonu...

Ka okioki ahau i tētahi rā...
Ka menemene ahau i tētahi rā...
Ka tino ora ahau i tētahi rā...

Engari mēnā...

Ko te rā nei te rā?

[Verse 1]

Ka mahi ia i te ata,
Ka mahi pō roa,
Whakairo te ao anamata
I te wāhi ngaro.

He whare ki te puke,
He moemoeā i te kōhatu,
Engari ia ahiahi
Ka kai anake ia.

Ka whakapono tonu ia,
Kotahi tau anake,
Kotahi patunga tapu anake,
Ka puta te hari.

Engari ka huri tonu ngā kaupeka,
Ka rere ngā tau,
I te wā ka taha te rā āpōpō
I te ataahua o te rā.

[Pre-Chorus]

Kāore te rā e tatari,
Kāore te awa e tū,

Ka haere tonu te ora
Ahakoa ka mōhio rānei tātou.

[Chorus]

🌍 Ora te ora...

I mua i te ngaro o te wā.

Awhi te aroha...

I mua i te neke atu.

Whakarongo ki te kata,
Whakarongo ki te hā,

Titiro ki te ataahua
Ka taea e te rā nei te tuku.

Nā te mea he mea nui ngā moemoeā,

Engari he mea nui hoki te haerenga.

Ora te ora...

I a koe e hanga ana i ō moemoeā.

[Verse 2]

Ka tuku moni te pāpā,
Ka tuku manaaki te whaea,
E ngana ana ki te hanga
Hei tohatoha mā te whānau.

Engari kei roto i a rāua,
He reo huna e kī ana,

"Nōnahea ahau
I tino ora ai i tētahi rā?"

Ka whakamahara te ao
Kia oma, kia eke,

Engari ka kōrero ngākau,

"Kaua e wareware ki te ora."

[Pre-Chorus]

Kāore ngā putiputi e tere,
Kāore ngā manu e whakataetae,

Engari ka kitea tonu e rātou
Tō rātou wāhi ataahua.

[Chorus]

🌍 Ora te ora...

I mua i te ngaro o te wā.

Awhi te aroha...

I mua i te neke atu.

Whakarongo ki te kata,
Whakarongo ki te hā,

Titiro ki te ataahua
Ka taea e te rā nei te tuku.

Nā te mea he mea nui ngā moemoeā,

Engari he mea nui hoki te haerenga.

Ora te ora...

I a koe e hanga ana i ō moemoeā.

[Bridge]

Tangohia te whakaahua.

Waihanga i te maumahara.

Karangahia tō whaea.

Tūhono ki te hoa.

Mātaki i te tōnga o te rā.

Hararei atu.

Kanikani i te kīhini.

Tīmata anō.

Nā te mea tētahi rā
Ka wehe katoa tatou i te ao nei,

Ā, kāore he tangata e hiahia
Kia mahi anō i tētahi huringa.

Engari he tokomaha e hiahia ana
Kia nui ake te wā

E ora ana i te ora
I whakapau kaha ai rātou ki te hanga.

[Final Chorus]

🌍 Ora te ora...

I mua i te ngaro o te wā.

Awhi te aroha...

I mua i te neke atu.

Whakarongo ki te kata,
Whakarongo ki te hā,

Titiro ki te ataahua
Ka taea e te rā nei te tuku.

Nā te mea kāore he oati mō te anamata,

Ā, kāore he whakapūmautanga mō āpōpō.

Nō reira ora te ora...

Aroha hōhonu...

Moemoeā māia...

Tuku noa...

Ā, ora te ora...

I a koe e hanga ana i ō moemoeā.

[Outro]

Hmmmm...

Ka tatari te whare...

Ka tatari te ao...

Engari kāore te wā e tatari...

Ora te ora...
