Kāmehameha lyrics
by Troy Kingi
[Chorus]
Taumaha haere ana
He āriki kē i mua
Pūkakā ana
Te mekamoutere
(E) arumoni noa
Tēnei whenua uki
Me ara ngā uri
Kei ngaro noa
[Verse 1]
Ko te tama a upokoroa te tohu
Kāmehameha, nāna te toka i tahuri
Ngā motu i tui
I te whenua taurikura
Whenua tapu kua
Whaoa e te rangitoto
Tūtū ai a Pele
(Ko) te ahi ka one
[Chorus]
Taumaha haere ana
He āriki kē i mua
Pūkakā ana
Te mekamoutere
(E) arumoni noa
Tēnei whenua uki
Me ara ngā uri
Kei ngaro noa
[Verse 2]
(Kua) hāparua ngā kōiwi e te kauhanga riri
Tangihia ana
Ko te whatinga hope
He mea mariko noa
Kua tāmia nō tе pānga o te urutā
Koianei kē te ao, hе awa e kore e whitikia?
He tōrangapū mana / kore noa
[Chorus]
Taumaha haere ana
He āriki kē i mua
Pūkakā ana
Te mekamoutere
(E) arumoni noa
Tēnei whenua uki
Me ara ngā uri
Kei ngaro noa
