Stan Walker Aotearoa lyrics

CHORUS
Nō tawhiti, nō tata,
nō te whenua o te Atua tātou,
ahakoa nō hea mai koe,
ka whawhai tonu mātou mōu.

VERSE 1 (STAN WALKER)
Ko au tō maunga, tū tonu,
ko te moana pari mai koe,
ko koe te awa i taku remu, ko tāua anō tāua,
nō te one i Kurawaka, hei tiaki i te whenua nei.

BRIDGE (TROY KINGI)
Aotearoa, he iwi kaha tātou,
he mana tuku iho mai anō,
whenua haumako,
wairua ora,
whāia tō ara,
ki te mutunga.

CHORUS
Nō tawhiti, nō tata,
nō te whenua o te Atua tātou,
ahakoa nō hea mai koe,
ka whawhai tonu mātou mōu.

VERSE 2 (RIA HALL)
He kōrero tō te whenua, heke mai ki a tātou,
he toa au mōna e oke nei e,
e kore au e hinga,
he uri nō te roimata,
te toto o ngā tūpuna,
e kore au e wehi Ä“.

BRIDGE (TROY KINGI)
Kia kaha tātou ki tāu i pai ai,
Whakatinana, kaua e ngutu noa,
Whenua haumako, wairua ora,

whāia tō ara ki te mutunga.

CHORUS
Nō tawhiti, nō tata,
nō te whenua o te Atua tātou,
ahakoa nō hea mai koe,
ka whawhai tonu mātou mōu,
Nō tawhiti, nō tata,
nō te whenua o te Atua tātou,
ahakoa nō hea mai koe,
ka whawhai tonu mātou mōu.

VERSE 3 (MAISEY RIKA)
E Ihowa atua,
o ngā iwi mātou rā,
āta whakarongona,
me aroha noa,
kia hua ko te pai,
kia tau tō atawhai,
manaakitia mai,
Aotearoa!

CHORUS
Nō tawhiti, nō tata,
nō te whenua o te Atua tātou,
ahakoa nō hea mai koe,
ka whawhai tonu mātou mōu,
Nō tawhiti, nō tata,
nō te whenua o te Atua tātou,
ahakoa nō hea mai koe,
ka whawhai tonu mātou mōu,
Nō tawhiti, nō tata,
nō te whenua o te Atua tātou,
ahakoa nō hea mai koe,
ka whawhai tonu mātou mōu.
