Kaitiaki, tūpuna, tohorā nui, tohorā roa
You are always there for me
When I’m lost in the ocean you’re near me
Listening carefully
Oh brother you hear me
Kaitiaki, tuakana, tohorā nui, tohorā roa
You are always there for me
When I’m under the tall trees you’re near me
Listening carefully
Oh mother you hear me
Kaitiaki, mātua, tohorā nui, tohorā roa
Ina ka tō te rā
Ka heke te pōuriuri
Ka pōkai tōku kaha
Ka tāhurihuri
You are always there for me
When I’m lost in the ocean you’re near me
Listening carefully
Oh lover you hear me
Kaitiaki, aroha, tohorā nui, tohorā roa
Whale - a translation
Guardian, ancestors, great whale, great whale
Guardian, older sibling, great whale, great whale
Guardian, parents, great whale, great whale
When the sun sets
And darkness falls
My strength folds
Il become troubled
Guardian, love, great whale, great whale
