Kai Tangata Lyrics
[MÄori:]
He taua, He taua!
Waewae tapu takahi te ara taua
Ka hopungia e maha nga upoko
Ka hopungia e maha taurekareka
E mahi nga mahi a TÅ«matauenga
Anei rÄ
Te uhi o Mataora
Pai tuarÄ
Te kokongapere
Nga rape
Te kitemaimairu
Tatua taua
Nga tÄ moko puhoro
Anei nga tohu a TÅ«matauenga
He pakanga nunui mo te whakautu
Tae mai nga tÅ«puna mo te whakaÄwhina
Kia mau nga Tohunga mo te whakakarakia
E mahi nga mahi a TÅ«matauenga
Anei rÄ
Te uhi o Mataora
Pai tuarÄ
Te kokongapere
Nga rape
Te kitemaimairu
Tatua taua
Nga tÄ moko puhoro
Anei nga tohu a TÅ«matauenga
A TÅ«matauenga
A TÅ«matauenga
A TÅ«matauenga
A TÅ«matauenga
Mahi nga mahi a TÅ«matauenga
Mahi nga mahi a TÅ«matauenga
Mahi nga mahi a TÅ«matauenga
Mahi nga mahi a TÅ«matauenga
Whakatangi o nga pū, whakapatu nga taiaha
Te kikokiko rekareka Å aku hoariri
Nga umu whakakÄ«a tÄtau kÅpÅ« ki te utu
E mahi nga mahi a TÅ«matauenga
Anei rÄ
Te uhi o Mataora
Pai tuarÄ
Te kokongapere
Nga rape
Te kitemaimairu
Tatua taua
Nga tÄ moko puhoro
Anei nga tohu a TÅ«matauenga
Waewae tapu takahi te ara taua
Waewae tapu takahi te ara taua
Waewae tapu takahi te ara taua
Waewae tapu takahi te ara taua

[English translation:]
A war party, a war party!
Footsteps pound the sacred warpath
Many heads are sought
Many slaves are sought
This is the work of TÅ«matauenga
Behold
The chisel of Mataora
The strong back
The base of the spine
The buttock spirals
The thigh
The war belt
The tattooed bodies of warriors
These are the omens of war
A mighty battle to avenge us
Our ancestors gather to assist us
Our priests prepare the incantations
This is the work of TÅ«matauenga
Behold
The chisel of Mataora
The strong back
The base of the spine
The buttock spirals
The thigh
The war belt
The tattooed bodies of warriors
These are the omens of war
Of TÅ«matauenga
Of TÅ«matauenga
Of TÅ«matauenga
Of TÅ«matauenga
This is the work of TÅ«matauenga
This is the work of TÅ«matauenga
This is the work of TÅ«matauenga
This is the work of TÅ«matauenga
The cry of guns, the blows of the taiaha
The sweet flesh of our enemies
The ovens fill our bellies with revenge
This is the work of TÅ«matauenga
Behold
The chisel of Mataora
The strong back
The base of the spine
The buttock spirals
The thigh
The war belt
The tattooed bodies of warriors
These are the omens of war
Footsteps pound the sacred warpath
Footsteps pound the sacred warpath
Footsteps pound the sacred warpath
Footsteps pound the sacred warpath
