ĪHENGA Lyrics: Ka tū au runga Maketū [I stand here in Maketū] Te kaihōpara o te ao [The explorer of the land] Ka huri au ki uta [I turn inland] Kia Kaituna, kī ana mātou puku [To Kaituna, where our bellies are filled] Mai nga kurī ngā īnanga puta mai [The dogs have thrown up whitebait] E piki te maunga, titiro e... [I climb the mountain and see] Ko Te roto i kite a Īhenga! [The lake I saw (Lake Rotoiti)] Te motu tapu a Tinirau! [The sacred island of Tinirau] Roto i te Rotorua nui a Kahumatamomoe! [In the second larger lake of Kahumatamomoe] Huri mātou ki te tūāraki [We turn to the North] Ki te Mānuka, komohia te pou! [To the Mānuka (Manukau), where we place a stake in the ground to claim this place] Ki te Kaiparapara a Kahumatamomoe! [To the Kaiparapara (Kaipara) of Kahumatamomoe] Kī nga puku anō... [Where we fill our bellies again] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ka hāpai ki te tūāraki [We continue North] Runga i te Wairoa kia Kawakawa [Along the Wairoa river, towards Kawakawa] Ki te Kai hū ki te Waikereru! [To the place of the secret meal and Waikereru] Kia Ruapekapeka! me te Motatau [To Ruapekapeka, and Motatau] Me te Tapu waewae haruru me Te wāhi whakatā [To the place of resounding footsteps and the place of self reflection] Ka huri mātou anō... [We turn once again] Anō ki Whāngarei! [Again towards Whāngarei] Ki Te ahi pūpū [To Te ahi pūpū] Piki ake Whatitiri maunga [I climb mount Whatitiri] E kapo te uira!!! [The lightning cracks] Te maunga Moehau!!! [The mountain Moehau] E piki ana!!! [I climb] FOLLOW ALIEN WEAPONRY @OfficialAlienWeaponry/
