HE AROHA (N Apanui)
He manako te aroha i kore ai He manawa, he awhi e hua e Te hao o te ngākau Me kimi ki whea e taku tau pūmau e?
Auē! He aroha, te mārie e hora e Titi ai ki te ngākau tangata e Puta noa ki te motu x 2 Me hora ki te ao
Ka mihi rā ki a koe e taku ipo e Mōhau i manaaki mai i ahau I ngā piki, i ngā heke Me he toka tū moana e
Auē! He aroha, te mārie e hora e Titi ai ki te ngākau tangata e Puta noa ki te motu x 2 Me hora ki te ao
Kia tau tonu rā te aroha ki ngā pito o te ao Hei māramatanga e hora ai a Matariki A Matariki e
Auē! He aroha, te mārie e hora e Titi ai ki te ngākau tangata e Puta noa ki te motu x 2 Me hora ki te ao
HE AROHA - (Love)
Love doesn't come from fervent hope What you truly desire comes from tolerance and expressing love Where do I look to find true love
Only with love can peace become widespread Piercing the hearts of people All around the nation Spreading to the world
Thank you my darling For being there in the ups and downs Like a rock standing strong on the tide
Only with love can peace become widespread Piercing the hearts of people All around the nation Spreading to the world
Let love spread to all points of the world Spreading understanding and peace to all
Only with love can peace become widespread Piercing the hearts of people All around the nation Spreading to the world
