Te Whānau Oranga Māori
Lyrical adaptation Dame June Mariu
Tune “The Rose
Te whanau oranga Māori
E mihi ana e tangi nei
Te kaupapa o te whānau
Me awhi me tiaki
E ngā iwi ahakoa nō hea
Aroha ki te tangata
“He aha te mea nui o te ao nei
He tangata, he tangata”
Tautoko kia tū tangata
Hūmarire, whakapono
Kia mau ki ngā tikanga
Tō tātou Māoritanga
Tū kaha, tū ora, tū mana, tū Māori
Taha tinana, taha ngākau, hinengaro, wairua
The healthy lifestyle whanau
Greets and weeps with you
The kaupapa of the whānau
is to embrace, and to care for
All people no matter where from
Love to all mankind
"What is the most important thing in this world
It is people, it is people"
Support that we stand tall
Humbly and in truth
Holdfast to our traditions
Our Māoritanga (heritage)
Be strong, be healthy, be proud/fit, be Maori
Physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually
Magic People
Dave Para & Molly Para
You're magic young people to me, you're magic people to me,
With your heads held high, let your voices cry,
Be proud to be Māori
Because you're magic young people to me, you're magic people to me, with your heads held high, let your voices cry,
Be proud to be Maori
In this crazy ole world that we live in today,
How is it to have all the say,
Where people don't care about good clean air just blowing people away,
And I wonder inside where the answer might lie,
I turn to the helm of today,
I say come on kids, come on and give it a try, you show us the way,
Because you're magic young people to me, you're magic people to me,
With your heads held high, let your voices cry,
Be proud to be Maori
Because you're magic young people to me, you're magic people to me,
With your heads held high, let your voices cry,
Be proud to be Maori
E tipu e rea e nga ra koha arohi to iwi e
To mata ki mata mo tupuna
To wairua ki te ariki
Te koutou katoa te rangatahi, e aranga mo te ao katoa
Kia mau kia kaha pupuritia
Te mana o nga tupuna
Because you're magic young people to me, you're magic people to me,
With your heads held high, let your voices cry,
Be proud to be Maori
Because you're magic young people to me, you're magic people to me,
With your heads held high, let your voices cry,
Be proud to be Maori
Because you're magic young people to me,
Because you're magic young people to me,
Because you're magic
