The Maouri Green Sun
My Patata is your Patata
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.
