Ko te whiri whakawhirinaki ō ōku makawe
Ao ake, whiri hono tonu
Ko te whiri whakawhirinaki ō ōku makawe
Ao ake, whiri hono tonu
Takahi takahi
He tahaa tāku hei whakakī
Give it to me daddy!
Takurua, takurua
Ko Hine Takurua
Puanga ki runga
Pūtara ki raro
Tautoru e
Taumata-ō-kuku, Te Matakaheru
Nau mai ka rewa ko Matariki e
Ko te whiri whakawhirinaki ō ōku makawe
Ao ake, whiri hono tonu
Ko te whiri whakawhirinaki ō ōku makawe
Ao ake, whiri hono tonu
And everybody wants you to be a boss ass
But you gotta bear the children
Bathe wounds and bring in them dollars dollars
Keep that mind sharp be a scholar
Don't forget your chief ass wiper
Everyone's relying on you!
Every little thing you have to prove this is a test
You're just a woman after all
The proof is in your chest. (Nah)
I give my maximum, get paid the minimum
Still thankful when they're thankless
Take the high road and show no stress!
Gotta roll with punches baby
Take it on the chin instead
Know when to pick a fight
Know when to dig it in
Just keep that game locked tight
And always play to win
Ko te whiri whakawhirinaki ō ōku makawe
Ao ake, whiri hono tonu
Ko te whiri whakawhirinaki ō ōku makawe
Ao ake, whiri hono tonu
