[Verse]
Koraba te uea, hands high in the sky
Tides pulling deep, where the spirits lie
Ibukin am tangira, the earth’s old song
Kakawakin nakou, we’ve been here all along
[Chorus]
Koraba, koraba, te uea rise
Whispers of the ocean, where the sun collides
Koraba, koraba, te uea, ohh
Heartbeat of the island, everywhere we go
[Verse 2]
Roots in the sand, where the stories grow
Natiu, our bloodline, eternal flow
Tekitanga calling, horizon’s flame
Ancestors walking, they still know my name
[Chorus]
Koraba, koraba, te uea rise
Whispers of the ocean, where the sun collides
Koraba, koraba, te uea, ohh
Heartbeat of the island, everywhere we go
[Bridge]
Waves crash heavy, rhythm never fades
Every shell, every stone, part of the parade
Kakawakin nakou, voices in the breeze
Koraba te uea, echoes through the seas
[Chorus]
Koraba, koraba, te uea rise
Whispers of the ocean, where the sun collides
Koraba, koraba, te uea, ohh
Heartbeat of the island, everywhere we go
