Papa Jarrod has created these videos to help you learn our waiata. Have a listen, then practise singing along.
Unuhia te rito
O te harakeke
Kei hea ra
Te komako e ko
Kii mai ki ahau nei
He aha te mea nui
O tenei ao
Maku e kii atu nei
He tangata he tangata he tangata
Remove the centre shoot of the flax and where will the bellbird be, where?
It will mill around, fly inland, fly seawards; and then you will ask me, what is the greatest thing in the world?
I will respond by saying: it is people, it is people, it is people!
Kia rite koe, ki te totara
E tu te rangatira
Ki runga i te whenua
Mauri ora, te wairua o te totara
E tu, E tu, E tu, Tane Mahuta
Horahia ngahere
Purea nei (hei ha) e te hau (makere)
Makere ana
E tu, E tu, E tu Tane Mahuta( e tu e tu)
