Mōteatea



 He Maimai Aroha tēnei Mōteatea.

Nei au te Pupuri


Kaea: Nei au te pupuri  

i ngā tini mahara e, 

taka ko roto nei

ka māwherangi au e.


Pa mai ki ahau 

whakahia ngongo ai ē, 

mō aku mate tau tini, 

he aroha nei, au e

Ko te pū



Ko te pū
Te more
Te weu
Te aka
Te rea
Ko te wao nui
Te kune
Te whē
Te kore
Te pō
Ki ngā tangata Māori
Nā Rangi rāua ko Papa
Ko tēnei te tīmatanga o te ao
Ko tēnei te tīmatanga o te ao

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
