Topenga Ataata
Kupu Tūpato
Hark! How the bells, sweet silver bells
– E te rangatira! Me pēhea te karaka, karaka hiriwa reka
All seem to say, “Throw cares away”
– Katoa te mea ki te mea, ” Maka cares atu”
Christmas is here, bringing good cheer
– Kei konei te kirihimete, e kawe mai ana i te koa pai
To young and old, meek and the bold
– Ki te taitamariki, ki te koroheke, ki te ngawari, ki te maia
Ding, dong, ding, dong, that is their song
– Ko Ding, ko dong, ko ding, ko dong, ko tā rātou waiata tērā
With joyful ring, all caroling
– Ki te ring koa, katoa caroling
One seems to hear, words of good cheer
– Te āhua nei e rongo ana te tangata, he kupu whakamanamana pai
From everywhere, filling the air
– Mai i nga wahi katoa, whakakiia te rangi
Oh, how they pound, raising the sound
– Aue, me pēhea te patu, te whakaara i te tangi
O’er hill and dale, telling their tale
– Ko o’er hill rāua ko dale, e kōrero ana i tō rāua kōrero
Gaily they ring, while people sing
– He pai te tangi, i te wa e waiata ana te iwi
Songs of good cheer, Christmas is here
– Ngā waiata o te harikoa pai, kei konei Te Kirihimete
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
– Kia hari, kia hari, Kia Hari, Kia Hari Te Kirihimete
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
– Kia hari, kia hari, Kia Hari, Kia Hari Te Kirihimete
On-on they send, on without end
– I runga i-i runga i tonoa e ratou, i runga i kahore mutunga
Their joyful tone to every home
– To ratou reo koa ki nga whare katoa
Hark! How the bells, sweet silver bells
