We're the Maoris
We're the Maoris
We're the Maoris
Moy-ah moy-ah-rah
Al-ay-hoh-ay-ah-rah, mow-ah-car-nay
Hay-tay-ee-we-ay-no-way-ah-rah
Key-tay-moh-ana
Hu-yu-ri-ay, hoy-ah, hoy-ah-rah-ah
Kay-ou-tayah-row-ah, ou-tayah-row-ah
Hoy-ah, hoy-ah-rah
Key-tay-fen-do-ah, oh-tay-we mao-oaris
Hoy-ah, hoy-ah-rah
Over the sea, fearless and free
Came the race that is called Mao-aoris
Guided by stars, they sailed from afar
Over stormy seas
Hoy-ah-rah, hoy-ah-rah
We're the Maoris (hey), great canoe men (hey)
Sailed the oceans (hey), scorned the dangers (hey)
Till we came to (hey), our Tay-ah-roh-ah (hey)
Till we found our home
Al-ay-hoh-ay-ah-rah, mow-ah-car-nay
Hay-tay-ee-we-ay-no-way-ah-rah
Key-tay-moh-ana
Hu-yu-ri-ay, hoy-ah, hoy-ah-rah-ah
To ou-tayah-row-ah, ou-tayah-row-ah
Land of the long white cloud
To this cherished place
Home of the all the Maoris race
Now and ever more
We're the Maoris (hey)
Great canoe men (hey)
Sailed the oceans, hey-yah
