Raupatu |
Nā te Tiriti |
Te tino, tino rangatiratanga |
O o ratou whenua |
Tino, tino rangatiratanga |
O ratou kainga |
Tino rangatiratanga |
Me o ratou taonga katoa |
Waikato Awa |
He piko, he taniwha |
Kingi Tawhiao |
Me Wiremu Tamihana |
Ki Rangiriri e tū ana |
Ko Te Whiti o Rongomai |
Ki Parihaka e noho ana |
Raupatu! |
Nā te Tiriti |
Te tino, tino rangatiratanga |
O o ratou whenua |
Tino, tino rangatiratanga |
O ratou kainga |
Tino rangatiratanga |
Me o ratou taonga katoa |
Raupatu… Rangiriri |
Raupatu… Pukehinahina |
Raupatu… Taurangaika |
Raupatu… Parihaka |
You take and take |
But you cannot take from who we are |
You cannot take our mana |
You cannot take our māoritanga |
You cannot take our people |
You cannot take our whakapapa |
You cannot take, you cannot take |
Raupatu! |
Accorded by the Treaty |
The full possession and chiefly authority |
Over their lands |
Full possession and chiefly authority |
Over their communities |
Full possession and chiefly authority |
Over all things of value to them |
The Waikato river |
On every bend a mighty war chief |
King Tawhiao |
And Wiremu Tamihana |
Made a stand at Rangiriri |
Te Whiti o Rongomai |
Held fast at Parihaka |
Confiscated! |
Accorded by the Treaty |
The full possession and chiefly authority |
Over their lands |
Full possession and chiefly authority |
Over their communities |
Full possession and chiefly authority |
Over all things of value to them |
Confiscated… Rangiriri |
Confiscated… Pukehinahina |
Confiscated… Taurangaika |
Confiscated… Parihaka |
You take and take |
But you cannot take from who we are |
You cannot take our dignity |
You cannot take our cultural identity |
You cannot take our people |
You cannot take our family heritage |
You cannot take, you cannot take |
Raupatu! |
