lyrics

Hikoi taku tai moana te take ō te wā
The foreshore and seabed (protest) march the issue of the day
Tāhae whenua anō te kāwanatanga
Another theft of land by the government
Te pūkana ō Tariana, te pū ō Tame Iti
The defiance of Tariana (Turia), the shotgun of Tame Iti
He tāonga mō nga iwi Māori nā te kupu ō te Tiriti
These treasures (the foreshore and seabed) belong to Māori, according to the Treaty

* * * * *

The government’s words
Are like whispers in our ears
Telling us lies
To hide away our fears

* * * * *

He tiriti nā Amerika, John Key te waha mōkai
The agreement from America, John Key the puppet mouthpiece
Ehara i te koha, TPPA he tūtae
This is no gift, the TPPA is a turd
He hui toropuku, he kōrero huna
Secret meetings, hidden words
Nga iwi Māori awere, te Tiriti takahia
Māori interests excluded, the Treaty (of Waitangi) disregarded

* * * * *

The government’s words
Are like whispers in our ears
Telling us lies
To hide away our fears

* * * * *

Hide away the truth, playing on our fears
The government’s words are like whispers in our ears
The people will find out the truth about our nation
A greedy system that shuts down our voice with legislation
