The Maouri Green Sun

 

My Patata is your Patata

He kai, he koha, Te Corazon
 
Te Manawa es semejante

and one only land your name

is Aotearoa

To Nigh, I will see my

green sun in the street

he tohu atua

he tohu wairua

he tohu aroha

te rakau o te Ao

the tree of the world

es South America

In your Heart, Red, Blood

Life, Potato, Papa, Sol

and Colombian is the big fruit

it is excellent, how is

Aotearoa.

Bacano

es te Amor, of the Iwi Maori

ki nga gente de Colombia.
