Aotearoa Lyrics by Tipene

Heritage Trail

2021

Heretaunga plains through the Ruahine range
In the Bay's where you'll find me
Te Tairawhiti east coast Hawke's Bay te Matau a Maui
People of the land whakapapa genealogy solid as a palm tree
Navigators of the globe Waka Takitimu Ngati Kahungunu hearty
I represent my lineage my bloodline Maunga, awa back to the people
The pride runs deep and we represent 100 percent everywhere that we go
Aotearoa translates to the land of the long white cloud
Rep it in the song right now
Launching off the riverbank
Steady dropping bombs like blaauw!
We are descendants of Tipuna aboard every Waka from the great fleet
Voyage from legendary lands of Hawaiiki roa
Hawaiiki nui Hawaiiki pamamao
Navigating by the stars led us to a land afar
We began habitation building fortified Pā
Whakapapa using landmarks
Passed down from our gods
Laid down the foundation I represent the nation
Rep in Te āo Rep in te pō
Know that I represent Aotearoa
Rep in Te āo Rep in te pō
Know that I represent Aotearoa
Rep in Te āo Rep in te pō
Know that I represent Aotearoa
Ao, Aotearoa Aotearoa
Know that I represent know that I represent
Rep in Te āo Rep in te pō
Know that I represent Aotearoa
Rep in Te āo Rep in te pō
Know that I represent Aotearoa
Rep in Te āo Rep in te pō
Know that I represent Aotearoa
Ao, Aotearoa Aotearoa
Know that I represent know that I represent
I te paeroa o Heretaunga ki runga Ruahine whenua Ngāti
Te Tai Rāwhiti, ko Heretaunga, ki Te Matau-a-Maui
Ko taku hononga ki te papa, He rite anō ki te Kauri
Whakatere Waka, rere āwhio ana, Ngāti Kahungunu haati
I Te maunga ki te awa
He kānohi au Tūturu mā te iwi
Me he kaahu i te rangi e haro ana tū toa manawa tītī
Ko te ngako o aōtearoa
He whenua whitinga roa
Ehara i te pahupahu noa
Māku te wero e kawe ko au te toa
Ko Tākitimu te waka, nā Tamatea mai Tawhiti
Te ara i whao i Hawaiki roa
Hawaiki nui Hawaiki pamamao
Ko te mātauranga te tāonga tuku iho
Tātai whetū he kura tawhito
Kātahi ka hanga pātūwatawata
Hei para huarahi ki taku whakapapa
Rep in Te āo Rep in te pō
Know that I represent Aotearoa
Rep in Te āo Rep in te pō
Know that I represent Aotearoa
Rep in Te āo Rep in te pō
Know that I represent Aotearoa
Ao Aotearoa Aotearoa
Know that I represent know that I represent
Rep in Te āo Rep in te pō
Know that I represent Aotearoa
Rep in Te āo Rep in te pō
Know that I represent Aotearoa
Rep in Te āo Rep in te pō
Know that I represent Aotearoa
Ao Aotearoa Aotearoa
Know that I represent know that I represent
