Nei Rā Te Kaupapa

Nā:  Tāwhiro Maxwell rāua ko Te Okeroa Huriwaka; Te Whakatōhea, Ngāi Tai 1987 Chord source

G A7 G A7 D A7
Tōku reo, tōku ohooho, māpihi maurea, whakakai mārihi
 
D A7 Bm7 Bm7
Nei rā te kaupapa ko te reo māori e
G D A7 A7
He taonga tuku iho nō ngā tīpuna
D A7 Bm7 Bm7
He pare kawakawa, he mea hirahira e
 
G A7 G A7 D A7
Tōku reo, tōku ohooho, māpihi maurea, whakakai mārihi
 
D A7 Bm7 Bm7
Kōrerotia te reo i ngā wā katoa
G D A7 A7
Kia kore e rite ki te moa
D A7 Bm7 Bm7
Mana tangata, mana motuhake
 
G A7 G A7 D Bm7
Tōku reo, tōku ohooho, māpihi maurea, whakakai marihi
 
 
G A7 G A7 D
Tōku reo, tōku ohooho, māpihi maurea, whakakai marihi

My language is my awakening 
It is the object of my affection 
 
It is the wreath that adorns my head 
My language, retention is my responsibility 
It is of the greatest significance 
 
My language is my awakening 
It is the object of my affection 
 
Speak the language at all times 
Not like the Moa 
It's our right and sovereignty 
 
My language, retention is my responsibility 
It is of the greatest significance
