Lyrics
Te Apo
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
He kiri ki waho, he puku ki roto
He kiri ki waho, he puku ki roto
Don't trust outward appearances, that which will only conceal what lies within
Anâ ia te apo, i ngâ mahi tauhoko
Homai râ tô ûpoko, 'merikana whanako.
Greed permeates the world of trade. Desist and apologise, American plunderers
He kupu kei runga, he raku kei raro
He kupu kei runga, he raku kei raro
Words float above, but deception lies beneath
Turakina te Roopu Tauhoko o te Motu
taiao hurumutu, koia pû te utu.
The World Trade Organisation needs to be stopped, or death to the environment is an inevitable.
Hînana ki uta, hînana ki tai
Hînana ki uta, hînana ki tai
Keep the food sources of indigenous people protected, and well stocked - these that are inherently theirs.
Inâ râ Te Heuheu, whângai i te makiu
tikanga mau tonu, heke iho, tapu.
Such was the great storage house o Te Heuheu, which fed visitors from near and far, of all ethnicities. An ancient custom of the Maori, still adhered today, still sacred.
