KUPU MĀORI

Kotahi kapua ki te rangi

He marangai ki te whenua x2

Kua whiti te rā

Ki tua o Kahurangi

Kia kore koe e ngaro

Taku reo rangatira

TRANSLATION

Just one cloud in the sky can give

a lifegiving shower of rain on the land,

on the land.

Just one cloud in the sky can give

a lifegiving shower of rain on the land,

on the land.

The sun has shone

all over the blue sky

so that you will not be lost

my chiefly language
