Takurua Lyrics

Ko te whiri whakawhirinaki ō ōku makawe

Ao ake, whiri hono tonu

Ko te whiri whakawhirinaki ō ōku makawe

Ao ake, whiri hono tonu

Takahi takahi

He tahaa tāku hei whakakī

Give it to me daddy!

Takurua, takurua

Ko Hine Takurua

Puanga ki runga

Pūtara ki raro

Tautoru e

Taumata-ō-kuku, Te Matakaheru

Nau mai ka rewa ko Matariki e

Ko te whiri whakawhirinaki ō ōku makawe

Ao ake, whiri hono tonu

Ko te whiri whakawhirinaki ō ōku makawe

Ao ake, whiri hono tonu

And everybody wants you to be a boss ass

But you gotta bear the children

Bathe wounds and bring in them dollars dollars

Keep that mind sharp be a scholar

Don't forget your chief ass wiper

Everyone's relying on you!

Every little thing you have to prove this is a test

You're just a woman after all

The proof is in your chest. (Nah)

I give my maximum, get paid the minimum

Still thankful when they're thankless

Take the high road and show no stress!

Gotta roll with punches baby

Take it on the chin instead

Know when to pick a fight

Know when to dig it in

Just keep that game locked tight

And always play to win

Ko te whiri whakawhirinaki ō ōku makawe

Ao ake, whiri hono tonu

Ko te whiri whakawhirinaki ō ōku makawe

Ao ake, whiri hono tonu
