about

Matakite ‘Oracle’

Matakite is about hope. At times it feels like the world is against you. You feel like you are struggling with the universe, but the struggle is with yourself. This waiata reminds you to open yourself to abundance and
become limitless.

lyrics

Matakite (NZ Maori - scroll down for English!)

V1
Tērā i hua me tautohe au ki te Ao

Nei rā ko au me te hinengaro

E kitea ana nei i roto pū / he wahine toa

E kore e tangatanga tenei ahua

Ch
E Te Ao me hōmai aroha anō

Matakite! Matakite!

Homai ano aku mahara he pono

Matakite, Matakite he aha ra i o kitea?

V2
Okeoke noa i te aotūroa kia tautika ai

Kaitoa kua tohunga kē ki te tohetohe

Mauri tū mauri hinga e kore e pā mai

Tūturu rānei pea inā rā ko au e puea nei

Ch
E te Ao, me hōmai aroha anō

Matakite, Matakite!

Homai ano, aku mahara he pono

Matakite he aha ra i o kitea?

Br
Mihi nui i te kaha

Kia kite i taku haerenga

Kia tau te rangimarie

ki taku iwi matakite tahi

Ch x 2


6. Matakite (English)

V1
I used to think it was me against the world

Now its me with my mind

I see deep inside, a strong woman

I will never let go of this feeling

Ch
Universe can I have love again

Matakite! Matakite!

Give it to me again, my mind is true

Matakite, Matakite what can you see for me?

V2
Struggle with this atmosphere to find balance

I've mastered the art of persistence

Positive energy and the hurt can't touch us

I see reality and the real me has surfaced

Ch
Universe can I have love again

Matakite, Matakite!

Give it me again, my mind is true

Matakite what can you see for me?

Br
Thankful for the strength

For showing the journey

Peace to the people

All who share this vision

Ch x2
