Stan Walker - He Kakano Ahau lyrics
[Stan Walker - He Kakano Ahau lyrics]
And I can never be lost
I am a seed, born of greatness
Descended from a line of chiefs
He kākano āhau
Ki hea rā au e hitekiteki ana
Ka mau tonu āhau ōku tikanga
Tōku reo, tōku oho oho
Tōku reo, tōku māpihi maurea
Tōku whakakai marihi
My language is my strength
An ornament of grace an ornament of grace
Ka tū ana āhau ka ūhia au e ōku tipuna
My pride I will show
That you may know who I am
I am a warrior, a survivor he mōrehu āhau
Ki hea rā āu e hītekiteki ana
Ka mau tonu i āhau ōku tikanga
Tōku reo, tōku oho oho
Tōku reo, tōku mapihi maurea
Tōku whakakai marihi
My language is my strength
An ornament of grace an ornament of grace
An ornament of grace an ornament of grace
