Lyrics
[Spoken Word: Male Voice]
The Maori, who come from the Pacific islands, were the first immigrants to settle in the previously uninhabited New Zealand from Polynesia in the 13th century.
[A Maori and a Seagull Cries]
[instrumental]
[Verse1]
Yao
Maori-pirats sailin' in the sea
To the island where the legends be
Dangerous and wild
A place you ain't ever seen
Polynesia
Where the spirit comes clean
[Verse 2]
Rowin' their canoes with the beat of the drums
Chantin' their hymns
Feelin' the power that comes
Fierce warriors
Tattoos tellin' their tales
Dancin' with fire
Their spirits never fails
[Verse 3]
On the island of legends
Where the stories come alive
Maori-pirats
Sailin' with pride
In Polynesia
Where the brave survive
We're the pirates of the island
Keepin' the vibe alive
[Outro]
Ka mate, Ka mate
Ka ora, Ka ora
Ka mate, Ka mate
Ka ora, Ka ora
Tenei te, Tangata
Pu'ru - huru
Na'a nei tiki mai whaka-whiti te ra
A upane! Ka upane!
A upane! Ka upane!
Whiti te ra!
Hi!
[END]
[Verse]
Sailin' on the ocean blue
Maori-pirates
Keepin' it true
Chasin' the horizon
Chasing our dreams
To the island where the legends be
[Verse]
Breezes whisper in the palm trees sway
Sunset paintin' the sky with shades of gold
Carryin' the rhythm of the ocean's waves
Our pirate ship
It never gets old
[Verse]
Navigating by the stars above
Adventure in our hearts
Fueled by love
Followin' the ancient maps we find
Together we're sailin' in perfect time
Sailin' on the ocean blue
Maori-pirates are true
[Distorted guitar]
Ka mate, Ka mate
Ka ora, Ka ora
Ka mate, Ka mate
Ka ora, Ka ora
Tenei te, Tangata
Pu'ru - huru
Na'a nei tiki mai whaka-whiti te ra
A upane! Ka upane!
A upane! Ka upane!
Whiti te ra!
Hi!
