Waiata Pohutukawa Tree (Includes Maori Version)
I am a Pohutukawa seed
Plant me in the ground and water me
Plenty of sunshine is what I need
Then guess what you will see?
Out will shoot a tiny twig
And it will continue to grow so big
Beautiful flowers of whero
The native tree of Aotearoa
Pohutukawa tree, Pohutukawa tree
New Zealand's Christmas tree
You fill my heart with aroha
The native tree of Aotearoa
He kakano Pohutukawa
Poua ki te whenua
Nga hihi o te ra, hei oranga
Hihiri pupuke, te kune e
He ira ki te whai ao
Ka tipu, tu, ka roa
Uhia I te raukura
Ko koe no Aotearoa
Tu mai ra Pohutukawa
Tu whakahi ki te ao
Pupu ake ko te aroha
Ko koe no Aotearoa
Pohutukawa tree, Pohutukawa tree
New Zealand's Christmas tree
You fill my heart with aroha
The native tree of Aotearoa
Plant me in the ground and water me
Plenty of sunshine is what I need
Then guess what you will see?
Out will shoot a tiny twig
And it will continue to grow so big
Beautiful flowers of whero
The native tree of Aotearoa
Pohutukawa tree, Pohutukawa tree
New Zealand's Christmas tree
You fill my heart with aroha
The native tree of Aotearoa
He kakano Pohutukawa
Poua ki te whenua
Nga hihi o te ra, hei oranga
Hihiri pupuke, te kune e
He ira ki te whai ao
Ka tipu, tu, ka roa
Uhia I te raukura
Ko koe no Aotearoa
Tu mai ra Pohutukawa
Tu whakahi ki te ao
Pupu ake ko te aroha
Ko koe no Aotearoa
Pohutukawa tree, Pohutukawa tree
New Zealand's Christmas tree
You fill my heart with aroha
The native tree of Aotearoa
