Lyrics of Whina - Walk of Freedom by Riqi Harawira
We are marching to parliament and no more land to be sold
She was the mother of our nation
She walked one thousand k′s
Te Whaea o te motu
Dame Whina Cooper e
Ko tana
Pakanga noa
She fought for us all
Kia moe moe a
She dreamed we could live as one
Te mana, te tapu
Over five thousand marchers walked into parliament
The flow of the Māori into the city
Not one acre more was the cry of her lament
Ko ratou e matakite
Those with the foresight
Me te kaha kia tu
And the courage to make a stand
He roimata ki te whenua.
The protest was a cry for the land
Everybody is able to express their views
Whina walk of freedom
Te roopu matakite
Aroha mou te whenua
Stick the pouwhenua in the ground
Whina walk of freedom
Lead us with your vision
Kaua ko tetahi ano eka
We are awake
Born in 1895, I want to come to heaven
She died at 98
1 million people watched the broadcast of her wake
You have much more to do
Mua mahara, could you help me
I te roopu matakite
They walked for our freedom
She walked to bring our people change
Whina walk of freedom
Te roopu matakite
Aroha mou te whenua
Te ihi, te mana
Whina walk of freedom
Lead us with your vision
Kaua ko tetahi ano eka
Kaua ko tetahi ano eka
Kaua ko tetahi ano eka
There is the pouwhenua
Kaua ko tetahi ano eka
This land is ours
Dame Whina Cooper was her name
We are awake
Haumie huie taiki e!
In Māori terms she is referred to as the Whaea o te motu
The mother of our land, the mother of our country
Not one acre more!
Not one acre more!
Not one acre more!
Kia kaua ko tetahi ano eka hi!
In gods' laws
In those laws he says
By the sweat of thy brow, thou shall eat bread
Not by the sweat of someone else and you sit down and doing nothing.
Writer(s): Riqi Harawira
