Lyrics of Kia Mau Ki Tō Ūkaipō / Don't Forget Your Roots - SIX60

Kia Mau Ki Tō Ūkaipō / Don't Forget Your Roots (original)

Kia mau ki tō ūkaipō
Kia mau hoki ki tō whānau
Kia mau ki tō ūkaipō
I tangata ai koe
I hari mai i a koe
Kia mau ki tō ūkaipō
Kia mau hoki ki tō whānau
Kia mau ki tō ūkaipō
Tangata pai a Hone
Pakari ana te tū mai
Takatū ana, tāria ana e te ao
Tē hoki mai, tē auraki mai
Ngaro ana i a ia te mana
He ao hurihuri, he ao horihori
Tāweko ana te taura tangata
Motu ana te taura karawa, ā…
Pōhēhē ana a Hēni
I te huarahi tika ia
Mahue ngā hoa, haere atu ana
Tē huri mai anō
Ngaro ana i a ia te mana
Kimi tikanga hou, he ao horihori
Tāweko ana te taura tangata
Motu ana te taura karawa, ā…
Ka mate!
Ka mate!
Ka ora!
Ka ora!
Ka mate!
Ka mate!
Ka ora!
Ka ora!
Tēnei te tangata pūhuruhuru
Nāna nei i tiki mai
Whakawhiti te rā
Upane, ka upane
Upane, ka upane
Whiti te rā!

(translation)

Hold on to your motherland
Keep it to your family too
Hold on to your motherland
That made you human
Brought to you
Hold on to your motherland
Keep it to your family too
Hold on to your motherland
Hone is a good man
The stand is strong
The world is ready and waiting
Don't come back, don't come back
He lost control
It is a changing world, a world of vanity
The human rope is twisted
The cable is broken, by…
Jane was confused
He was on the right track
The friends left and left
Don't come back
He lost control
Find new methods, an artificial world
The human rope is twisted
The cable is broken, by…
It will die!
It will die!
Be saved!
Be saved!
It will die!
It will die!
Be saved!
Be saved!
Here is the hairy man
He brought it
Change the date
Upane, upane
Upane, upane
The sun is shining!
