*You're Welcome, Māori Version, Lyrics & Translation*
*Original title:* Mihi Mai Rā
*Maui:* Piripi Taylor

The song has released official lyrics so I just translated the song this time.
*NOTES:*
- There are a lot of Māori mythology references in the song, like too many (most though are presented in different Polynesian mythologies with variations):
- 1:02 Maui bringing fire to the people.
- 1:07 Maui tied up the sun to make the days longer.
- 1:25 Maui fished up New Zealand's Northern Island (Māori mythology specific).
- 1:44 ''Arawa'' it's referred to the descendants of a specific Māori tribe that migrated to New Zealand.
- The phrase ''Mihi mai rā'' that Maui uses in the song is used as an arrogant way to say ''Thank me'', ''tēnā koe/ kōrua/ koutou'' is a more proper way to say thank you in Māori.
