Rū Ana Te Whenua Lyrics
[Intro]
Whakarongo mai rā ... Whakarongo mai rā!
Whakarongo mai rā ... Whakarongo mai rā!
Whakarongo mai ki te tangi o nga pū i runga i te taumata a Pukehinahina
[Verse]
Rū ana te whenua
Katakata te uira
Homai te ahi
Ki te waharoa
Hī!
Katakata te uira
Homai te ahi
Ki te waharoa
O te taniwha
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
Kua tae mai nga mate
Kua tae mai nga mate
Kua tae mai nga mate
Kua tae mai nga mate
Kei te hē!
[Bridge]
Nga iwi ki raro
I roto nga rua
[Chorus]
Kua tae mai nga mate
Kua tae mai nga mate
Kua tae mai nga mate
Kua tae mai nga mate
Kei te hē!
[Breakdown]
Aue...nga roimata ē
Aue...kua mate nga tangata
Aue...e reringa roimata ē
Aue...e reringa toto ē
I runga i te wai ū o Papa-tū-ā-nuku
Rite kohu, ngaro nga iwi
Oi i te mate!

Haumi ē, hui ē, tāiki ē!
Haumi ē, hui ē, tāiki ē!
Haumi ē, hui ē, tāiki ē!
Haumi ē, hui ē, tāiki ē!

[Intro]
Hark that sound yonder
Hark that sound yonder
Listen to the roar of the guns on the hilltop at Pukehinahina
[Verse]
The earth trembles
The lightning cackles
Bring on the fire
To the gates
(War cry)
The lightning cackles
Bring on the fire
To the gaping jaws
Of the monster
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
Death has arrived
Death has arrived
Death has arrived
Death has arrived
You are mistaken!
[Bridge]
The people below
The bones below
In the tunnels
In the caves
[Chorus]
Death has arrived
Death has arrived
Death has arrived
Death has arrived
You are mistaken!
[Breakdown]
(Wail of sorrow)...the tears
(Wail of sorrow)...the dead and dying
(Wail of sorrow)...the flowing tears
(Wail of sorrow)...the flowing blood
Onto the bosom of Mother Earth
Like mist, the people have vanished
Unleash death!
Like the joints of the canoe, we are woven together as one
Like the joints of the canoe, we are woven together as one
Like the joints of the canoe, we are woven together as one
Like the joints of the canoe, we are woven together as one
Like the joints of the canoe, we are woven together as one
