Translation of the song lyrics Rū Ana Te Whenua - Alien Weaponry

Rū Ana Te Whenua (original)

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
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
Kua tae mai nga mate
Kua tae mai nga mate
Kua tae mai nga mate
Kua tae mai nga mate
Kei te hē!
Nga iwi ki raro
I roto nga rua
Kua tae mai nga mate
Kua tae mai nga mate
Kua tae mai nga mate
Kua tae mai nga mate
Kei te hē!
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!
Haumi ē, hui ē, tāiki ē!

Rū Ana Te Whenua (translation)

Listen up… Listen up!
Listen up… Listen up!
Listen to the sound of guns on the level of Gate Pā
The earth shook
The lightning laughed
Give me fire
To the street
Hi!
The lightning laughed
Give me fire
To the street
Of the monster
The deaths have come
The deaths have come
The deaths have come
The deaths have come
It's wrong!
People down
Inside the holes
The deaths have come
The deaths have come
The deaths have come
The deaths have come
It's wrong!
Oh, the tears
Oh… people are dead
Oh, there are tears
Oh, bloodshed
On the breast water of Papa-tū-ā-nuku
Like fog, people disappear
Oh the death!
Invest, gather, gather!
Invest, gather, gather!
Invest, gather, gather!
Invest, gather, gather!
Invest, gather, gather!
