Che Fu - He Kotahi (As One)

[from the Navigator album]

Kia mau

(Hold fast)

Te tīma Māori kia māia. Te tīma Māori kia wehi. Te tīma Māori kia kaha. Te tīma Māori kia toa

Te tīma Māori kia māia. Te tīma Māori kia wehi. Te tīma Māori kia kaha. Te tīma Māori kia toa

(Maori be brave, be awesome, be strong, be victorious)

Ka hoe te waka tauā, kei waho i te moana. Kia mau, kia ita, pērā ki koutou tīpuna

(Yes we're moving, across the sea. Like our fathers before, we remain steadfast and sure.)

Ka tū he kotahi, tū tata mai, kia mihi ā tū ki te ao, ka tū māia i te paerangi, tū tata mai. Kia mihi ā tū ki te ao, ka tū māia i te paerangi

(Unified together, we will greet the risen sun, shoulder to shoulder, heads up on the front line. We will greet the risen sun, shoulder to shoulder, heads up on the front line.)

Tata pau te wā, hoki ki uta, kei reira rā, kei reira rā. Te ao kōhatu, i tū rangatira ngā tīpuna, a hoki mai, a hoki mai

(The clock is ticking, we reach into ourselves and there it is, there it is. Back in the past, where our people once did walk, now we're running in, now we're running in)

Ka tū he kotahi, tū tata mai, kia mihi ā tū ki te ao, ka tū māia i te paerangi, tū tata mai. Kia mihi ā tū ki te ao, ka tū māia i te paerangi

(Unified together, we will greet the risen sun, shoulder to shoulder, heads up on the front line. We will greet the risen sun, shoulder to shoulder, heads up on the front line)

Auē, Auē...

Kua hiki nā, te kohu, ka anga atu tāku aro, ki te kāinga, ā āta titiro, ka tū te ihiihi, ka tū te wanawana. Mō tō whenua ē, mō tō whenua ē

(Our minds stay clear, frosty, our eyes are clear as days back home, concentration, concentration, concentration. For your land, for your country)

Te tīma Māori kia māia. Te tīma Māori kia wehi. Te tīma Māori kia kaha. Te tīma Māori kia toa

Te tīma Māori kia māia. Te tīma Māori kia wehi. Te tīma Māori kia kaha. Te tīma Māori kia toa

(Maori be brave, be awesome, be strong, be victorious)

Auē...

Ka tū he kotahi, tū tata mai, kia mihi ā tū ki te ao, ka tū māia i te paerangi, tū tata mai. Kia mihi ā tū ki te ao, ka tū māia i te paerangi

(Unified together, we will greet the risen sun, shoulder to shoulder, heads up on the front line. We will greet the risen sun, shoulder to shoulder, heads up on the front line.)
