HUTIA TE RITO O TE HARAKEKE (beginning chant)
Hutia te rito
Hutia te rito o te harakeke.
Kei hea te komako e ko?
Ki mai ki ahau.
He aha te mea nui?
He aha te mea nui o te ao.
Māku e ki atu.
He tangata,
He tangata,
He tangata. Hi.

If you were to pluck out the centre of the flax bush, where would the bellbird sing?
If you were to ask me "What is the most important thing in the world?"
I would reply, "That it is people, it is people, it is people."

Our tribe is calling to the people

who have just set foot on this marae


Bring with you the memories of all our dead

and so many tears spilling forth nation-wide.


Look at our people working across the land

spread out far and wide


Shaking is the ground, quivering is the sea.

Oh, the love and the pain within me.

The ground shakes and quivers, yeah


UTAINA

Utaina mai ngā waka

Ngā waka o te motu

Hoea mai rā ki uta

Ki te takotoranga.

A hiki 'nuku, hiki e

Hiki rangi, rangi e

Tēnā, tēnā rā

koutou katoa.


Put everyone aboard the canoes, 

The Canoes of the island

Thrust the canoes shorewards

To the place where they lie.

Swing your paddles down,

Swing your paddles skywards,

Swing them

Greetings, greetings to you all

Flip them now to the heavens

Lift them skywards

It is urged on by everyone

Their canoe is raised on high

Aue, aue, aue, ha!

Aue, aue, aue! Ha! Hei!


HE KĀKANO ĀHAU

He kākano āhau

I ruia mai i Rangi-ātea

And I can never be lost

I am a seed, born of greatness

Descended from a line of chiefs,

He kākano āhau


Ki hea rā āu e hī-teki-teki ana

Ka mau tonu i āhau ōku tikanga

Tōku reo, tōku oho-oho,

Tōku reo, tōku māpihi maurea

Tōku whakakai marihi

My language is my strength

An ornament of grace.


Ka tū ana āhau

Ka ūhia au e ōku tīpuna

My pride I will show

That you may know, who I am

I am a warrior, a survivor

He mōrehu āhau.


I am a seed 

Scattered from Rangiātea


Wherever I may roam

I will hold fast to my traditions

My language is my cherished possession

My language is the object of my affection

My precious adornment


Whenever I stand

I am clothed by my ancestors


I am a remnant.


KIA MAU KI TO UKAIPO
Kia mau ki to ukaipo
Kia mau hokiki to whanau
Kia mau ki to ukaipo
I tangata ai koe
I hari mai i a koe
Kia mau ki to ukaipo
Kia mau hokiki to whanau
Kia mau ki to ukaipo

Tangata pai e hone
Pakare ana i te mai
Takutu ana taria ana i te ao
Te hoki mai te auraki mai
Ngaro ana ia ia te mana
He ao hurihuri, he ao horihori
Taweko ana te taura tangata
Motu ana te taura karawa a

Pohehe ana a hene
I te huarahi tika ia
Mahue nga hoa haere atu ana
Te huri mai ano
Ngaro ana ia ia te mana
Kimi tikanga ho te ao horihori
Taweko ana te taura tangata
Motu ana te taura karawa a

HE HONORE
He Honore, he kororia
Maungarongo ki te whenua
Whakaaro pai e
Ki ngatangata katoa
Ake, ake, ake, ake,
Amine
Te atua, te piringa,
Toku oranga

Honour, glory and peace to the land
May good thoughts come to all men
for ever and ever, for ever and ever.
Amen.
The Lord is the refuge and my life.
 
RONA
Takoto ana au
Ki te moenga uriuri
Tu ake au
Titiro ki te atarau

Kei runga ra,
Te marama e whiti ana
Kei hea Rona
Kei roto ra

Piri ki te taha
Piri ki te ngaio
Aue ra
E Rona e
Aue Rona e

I’m lying 
in my darkened bedroom
And after a while get up
To look at the moonlight.
It is up there
The shining moon
Where is Rona?
She is in the moon
Holding the calabash,
Holding the Ngaio tree.
How sad for Rona!

PŌKAREKARE ANA

Pōkarekare ana      

Ngā wai o Oneroa,      

Whiti atu koe hine      

Marino ana e.      

 

E hine e E hine e

Hoki mai ra Hoki mai ra

Ka mate ahau Ka mate ahau

I te aroha e, I te aroha e     


Tuhituhi taku reta

tuku atu taku rīngi,      

Kia kite tō iwi     

raru raru ana e.


Oh, dark and agitated

is the waters of Oneroa 

'tho when you come across 

then peace will come again.


O my sweet love, return to me

I’m near to death, for the love of thee


I have written my letter, I have sent my ring

So that your people can see, that I am troubled


E I A I E

Nga iwi e, nga iwi e      

Kia kotahi ra, te Moana-Nui-a-Kiwa   (2x)      

 

E-i-a-i-e!       

(Whakarongo Tautoko)

E-i-a-i-e!         

 

Kia mau ra, kia mau ra 

Ki te mana motuhake, me te aroha (2x)   

 

Wahine ma, wahine ma  

Maranga mai, maranga mai, kia kaha (x2)   

 

E tane ma, e tane ma

Tama tu, tama tu, Tama ora! (x2)      

 

All you people! All you people!

Be united as one, like the pacific ocean

 

Hold on firmly! Hold on firmly

to your inheritance, and to compassion.

 

All you young women! All you young women

rise up, rise up, be strong

 

All you lads! All you lads!

Stand up tall and live like men!


TE AROHA
Te Aroha
Te Whakapono
Me te Rangimarie e
Tatou tatou e

Love, 
Hope, 
Peace 
For us all

E HARA I TE MEA
Ehara i te mea
Nō nātanei te aroha
Nō nga tūpuna 
Tuku iho, i tuku iho

Te whenua, te whenua
Te oranga o te iwi
Nō nga tūpuna
Tuku iho, i tuku iho

Whakapono, 
Tumanako
Te aroha to aroha;
Nō nga tūpuna
Tuku iho, i tuku iho
Tuku iho, i tuku iho

Not the thing of recent times, is love  
but by the ancestors it has been 
passed down, passed down.
From the land, the land comes the wellbeing of the people; 
by the ancestors it has been 
passed down, passed down. 
Faith, hope and love; 
by the ancestors they have been 
passed down, passed down. 

TŌIA MAI
Leader:  Ā Kumekumea tōtōia kumekumea hī! 
All:   Ā Kumekumea tōtōia kumekumea hī! 

All:   Tōia mai te waka nei    
Kūmea mai te waka nei    
Ki te takotoranga takoto ai   
Tiriti te mana motuhake    
Te tangi a te manu nei   
Pīpīwharauroa  (Hi aue aue)   
Kui kui kui whiti whiti ora    
Hui e taiki e. 

Leader:   Ā Kumekumea tōtōia
All:   Kumekumea hii!

Leader:  Heave! All:   Heave!
Drag the canoe Heave the canoe To its resting place Share out the true power The bird calls The shining cuckoo Quee! Quee! Quee! (bird sound) Whitty! Whitty! Whitty! (bird sound) Gather together as one.
(This song uses two metaphors to call people to come together and work cooperatively for mutual benefit. The canoe represents groups of people. The call of the shining cuckoo signifies that it is planting season or in terms of people, it is time to prepare themselves for the work ahead of them)

HARERUIA
Ka koinga ka mahara
Ki te mauri o te Atua
E te kamak e te kaiwhakaora
Kahana te Manawa
Ki te ihi karanga ranga
Kei toku Atua e Hareruia

Hareruia, Hareruia, Hareruia
Hareruia

E TORU NGĀ MEA

E toru ngā mea   

Ngā mea nunui

E ki ana    
Te Paipera

Whakapono

Tumanako

Ko te mea nui

Ko te Aroha


There are three things

Three great things

It is said in the bible

FAITH and HOPE but the greatest thing

Is LOVE.
