(Verse 1) In the lush green forests where the wild winds play, Stands the Karata tree, swaying through the day! Glossy leaves like emeralds, catching sun's warm kiss, Orange fruits a-dancing, pure natural bliss! Tall and evergreen, reaching for the sky, Home to birds and breezes, oh how time flies by! (Chorus) Oh, Karata, Karata, wonder of the wild! Fast and fun, celebratory, nature's joyful child! Airy branches whispering secrets in the air, Beauty all around us, beyond compare! Sing it loud, feel the joy, in every leaf and root, Karata tree, you're the heart of nature's flute! (Verse 2) Coastal shores and islands, where the ocean meets the land, Karata grows so hardy, with a lifespan oh so grand! Kererū birds feasting on your fruity delight, Ancient echoes from the past, under stars so bright! Shade for all the creatures, low flames can't bring you down, You're a treasure in the wild, wearing nature's crown! (Chorus) Oh, Karata, Karata, wonder of the wild! Fast and fun, celebratory, nature's joyful child! Airy branches whispering secrets in the air, Beauty all around us, beyond compare! Sing it loud, feel the joy, in every leaf and root, Karata tree, you're the heart of nature's flute! (Bridge) From Māori tales to modern days, you're woven in the weave, Healing leaves and vibrant fruits, make us all believe! In the dance of life and light, where wonders never cease, Karata calls us to celebrate, in perfect peace! (Outro - Repeat Chorus Fade) Oh, Karata... wonder of the wild... Airy, celebratory, forever styled!
