Listen to the Leaves

Next time you take a walk with your family
Take a look around and listen to the leaves
Listen to the leaves, they all have different names
So many different shapes, there's not a one the same

Kauri, Kawakawa Kōwhai, Rata, Pōhutukawa, Nikau
Kauri, Kawakawa Kōwhai, Rata, Pōhutukawa, Nikau

Listen to the leaves (Whakarongo ki ngā rau)
Listen to the leaves (Whakarongo ki ngā rau)

Akapuka, Akeake, Akatea, Arorangi
Harakeke, Horoeka, Horopito, Heketara
Karaka, Koromiko, Kāmahi, Kānuka

Listen to the leaves (Whakarongo ki ngā rau)
Let's listen to the leaves (Whakarongo ki ngā rau)

Mānuka, Miro, Mātai, Makomako
Napuka, Ngaio, Neinei, Niniwa

Kauri, Kawakawa, Kōwhai, Rata, Pōhutukawa, Nikau
Kauri, Kawakawa, Kōwhai, Rata, Pōhutukawa, Nikau

Let's listen to the leaves (Whakarongo ki ngā rau)

Let's listen to the leaves (Whakarongo ki ngā rau)

Listen to the leaves, there's even more to name
They all have different shapes, there's not a one the same
So when you take a walk with your family
Take a look around and listen to the leaves

Ahhhh (Whakarongo ki ngā rau)
Let's listen to the leaves (Whakarongo ki ngā rau)
Listen to the leaves (Whakarongo ki ngā rau)
