Translation of the song lyrics Te Ara Tika / The Path - Lorde

Te Ara Tika / The Path (original)

I whānau mai au i te tau nihoroa
I te kāinga
Moepapa ana, i te kohiko o te kāmera
Noho tahanga ana i te motu
E karawhiu mai ana a Tāwhiri
Hei aha māku ngā whakapōrearea
Ka tūkinotia ngā kīngi o Īhipa
I te whare taonga o Te Āporo Nui
Kei hea rā te tikanga e hoa mā?
Ehara au i te kaiwhakaora tino kore nei
Kia noho au hei whakaāio whenua tino kore nei
E noho matakerekere ana i ahatia ō tātou moemoeā?
Whitikina te ara tika, ara, ara, ara
Whitikina te ara tika, ara, ara, ara
Whitikina te ara tika
Kaiwhakaora
Whitikina te ara tika
Kaiwhakaora
Whitikina te ara tika

Te Ara Tika / The Path (translation)

I was born in the year nihoroa
At home
Nightmare, the camera flashed
Staying naked on the island
Tāwhiri is attacking
Why bother me?
The kings of Egypt will be oppressed
At the Big Apple Museum
Where is the meaning, friends?
I’m not a complete savior anymore
Let me be a peacemaker of this most destitute country
Are we wondering what happened to our dreams?
Embrace the right way, way, way, way
Embrace the right way, way, way, way
Take the right path
Savior
Take the right path
Savior
Take the right path
