Born of Greatness Songtext / Lyric

He kakano ahau i ruia mai i rangi atea...
And i can never be lost i am the seed, Born of Greatness
Descended from a line of chiefs, he kakano ahau

CHORUS

I hea ra au e hitekiteki ana kamau tonu i ahau oku tikanga
Toku reo, toku oho oho, toke reo, toku mapihi maurea
Toku whakakai marihi
my language is my strength, an ornamental grace

Ka tu ana ahau, ka uhi ahau e oku tipuna
My pride i will show that you they know who i am
I am a warrior a survivor
He morehu ahau

CHORUS

I hea ra au e hitekiteki ana kamau tonu i ahau oku tikanga
Toku reo, toku oho oho, Toku reo, toku mapihi maurea
Toku whakakai marihi
My language is my strength, an ornamental grace
(fade to end) an ornamental grace
