All I want for Christmas is you (Mariah Carey)

 


I don't want a lot for Christmas

There is just one thing I need

I don't care about the presents underneath the Christmas tree

I just want you for my own

More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true

All I want for Christmas is you


I don't want a lot for Christmas

There is just one thing I need (and I)

Don't care about the presents underneath the Christmas tree

I don't need to hang my stocking there upon the fireplace

Santa Claus won't make me happy with a toy on Christmas Day

I just want you for my own

More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true

All I want for Christmas is you

You, baby

Oh, I won't ask for much this Christmas

I won't even wish for snow (and I)

I'm just gonna keep on waiting underneath the mistletoe

I won't make a list and send it to the North Pole for Saint Nick

I won't even stay awake to hear those magic reindeer click

'Cause I just want you here tonight

Holding on to me so tight

What more can I do?

Oh, baby, all I want for Christmas is you

You, baby

Oh-oh, all the lights are shining so brightly everywhere (so brightly, baby)

And the sound of children's laughter fills the air (oh, oh, yeah)

And everyone is singing (oh, yeah)


I hear those sleigh bells ringing

Santa, won't you bring me the one I really need? (Yeah, oh)

Won't you please bring my baby to me?

Oh, I don't want a lot for Christmas

This is all I'm asking for

I just wanna see my baby standing right outside my door

Oh, I just want you for my own

More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true

Oh, baby, all I want for Christmas is you

You, baby

All I want for Christmas is you, baby

All I want for Christmas is you, baby

All I want for Christmas is you, baby

All I want for Christmas (all I really want) is you, baby

All I want (I want) for Christmas (all I really want) is you, baby

E rere te awa tupua

E rere te awa tupua

Mai i te kāhui maunga ki Tangaroa

Kia whakapiria mai, ko ngā piringā

Hinengakau, Tama ūpoko, Tupoho potiki e

Ko au te awa, Te awa ko au

E rere te awa tupua

Ki runga ki te whenua

Ki runga ki te tangata

E hoki ana aku mahara

 

E hoki ana aku mahara ki ngā rā o mua

I noho ai te iwi I ngā tahatika o Ōroua

E rere rā I te nuku o te whenua

I te hōkitanga I runga rā o Ruahine

 

E hoki ana aku mahara ki ngā rā o mua

I noho ai te iwi I ngā tahatika o Ōroua

E rere rā I te nuku o te whenua

I tō hōkitanga I runga rā o Ruahine

 

(Chorus)

Te wai kaukau o ngā tupuna

Te wai horoi kaka o ngā kuia

Te ara i haere ai ngā waka o rātou mā

Te wai I kite ai I ngā mahi a te makimaki tamariki

Ko te riripi kōwhatu, te kauhoe, te ruruku,

Ko te korikori ngā mahi tamariki

 

E rere raa i te nuku o te whenua,

I too hokitanga, i runga raa, o Ruahine

 

E tangi ana aku mahara ki ēnei mahi o mua

Kia noho tonu ai i te iwi ki ngā tahatika o Ōroua.

Mōteatea

Taku Hōkioi noho hiwi maunga

 Mātakitaki ki te papa o te whenua,

tūpana te haere o te waewae tangata,

papatahi ki te pae o Kui Apakura.

He tauhou te uri o Maui

ka riro ki te kurupae ki Kauwhata e...i.


Nā kōrua, ko te kete Aroiti

i whakatū te tū o te Tūmatakuru

arahina te eke ki te korokoro a Tū,

ka tau ki te kauwhanga nui

o te umu pokapoka e...hei!

 

Ka tū ki te taumata tapu

i te kororangi ki te kururangi o te mārama.

Ka rere te uru pounamu ki te ātea

Ko wai koe? I ahu mai koe i whea?

 

Kua haere mokomoko mai koe,

kua haere kukupā mai rānei?

 

Ko wai rā te atua

Nāna koe i turaki ki raro?

 

Ko wai rā te atua

Nāna koe i werohia kia huri wheraka?

 

Mēnā he hoariri, ka māringi te toto.

Kīhai koe i ākina ki te parāoa,

kīhai koe i werohia ki te tao roa

 

ka mate atu rātou o mua,

ko te toto, he whero, he māwhero, he parauri.

Mēnā he hoa aroha, nau mai haramai

ki rō te pouwhare o Kauwhata e...hei!

 

Hipa mai koe i te huinga o te rau

ko te amo o Wehiwehi,

ko te amo o Tahuriwakanui,

Ko Hinepare ki te pare.

Ka paopao te pouwhare ki te ngutu toa,

ka tīkina te kōrero o te whare ki te ngutu māreikura.

Ko te taonga ka riro ko te rau huia

hei tikitiki mō te māhunga.

Ka noho ngā rau ki rō te pouwhare,

kohikohia hei taonga mō te waka huia

 

Tiakina mō te wā iti nei kei ngaro noa

Hei...Hā!
