Rehua Marae Visit for Matariki

On the 25th of June a number of our Kapahaka students visited Rehua Marae and performed a selection of the waiata and haka we have been working on since the start of the year. This was warmly recieved by those who were in the audience. There were many other things to see and experience at the marae including eating kai and seeing some of the traditional arts and crafts in the whare nui. It was a great experience for all those involved. Below are some photos and videos from our experience.

Ka haea te ata

Hāro ana te kāhu

I te Parinui o Whiti 

Rere tōu rā ki kā Pākihi

Whakatekateka o Waitaha

Ka poupou te rā ki ruka Aoraki

Topa tou atu taku manu ki

Te Ara Whenewhene a Kiwa

Ka ura te raki

Tau atu au ki Te Tai o Poutini

Ka Tāepapa, Kā waewae o te rā

Te whenua tapatapahia

E taku tipuna, Tahu Pōtiki

Ka tau au ka tau au ki konei

Taku manu ka tau ha e, i

Ka huri taku reo

Ki te hiku o te ika

Ki te hiku o te rangi

Ki runga  rawa e

E hine, e tama,

E koro, e kuia,

Tahuri mai, whakarongo mai

Rere rere ripo ana e

Te wai tuku kiri

Te wai tipua

Te kare maioha  e rere nei

Ko koe te wai oraka mō tō iwi

Rere rere ripo ana e

Ko te whirika

Ko te whirika o te taura takata

Ahakoa uaina e te ua

Whitikina e te ra

Te taukaea o te aroha

Ka mau ake tonu e

Ka eke mai - ka eke mai

Te manene - Te manene

I te reo rahiri - i te reo rahiri

O te hui e - O te hui e

Ko te whirika..

Ka tata mai - Ka tata mai

Ka piri e - Ka piri e

Ka tino te here o te whanau e

TūHono 2o20 In the Town Hall

Tiaho mai Rā

Tiaho mai rā te whetū o te ata

Kōpū i te ao, Parearau i te pō 

Ka tū te ao marama, he ao hara

Tū mai rā koe hei tohu i ahau

Tū mai rā koe hei tohu i ahau

E kore te aroha e kaupare noa

Hoki mai rā ki ahau e te tau

Hoki mai rā ki ahau e te tau

Ko te whirika 

Ko te whirika o te taura takata

Ahakoa uaina e te ua

Whitikina e te ra

Te taukaea o te aroha

Ka mau ake tonu e

Ka eke mai - ka eke mai

Te manene - Te manene

I te reo rahiri - i te reo rahiri

O te hui e - O te hui e

Ko te whirika..

Ka tata mai - Ka tata mai

Ka piri e - Ka piri e

Ka tino te here o te whanau e

Ko te whirika..

Aoraki te mauka

Aoraki te mauka

Waitaki te awa

Takitimu te waka

Ngāi Tahu te iwi

Tahu Potiki te takata

Hareruia

Ka koingo, ka mahara ki te mauri o te Atua

E te kamaka, e te kaiwhakaora

Ka hahana te manawa, ki te ihi karangaranga

Kei toku Atua e, hareruia

Hareruia, hareruia, hareruia, hareruia!

I heard there was a secret chord 

That David played and it pleased the Lord

But you don’t really care for music, do you

Well it goes like this, the fourth, the fifth

The minor fall and the major lift

The baffled king composing hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

Ka koingo, ka mahara ki te mauri o te Atua

E te kamaka, e te kaiwhakaora

Ka hahana te manawa, ki te ihi karangaranga

Kei toku Atua e, hareruia

Hareruia, hareruia, hareruia, hareruia!

Lyrics from Kapahaka this week 8th February 2018

Tiaho mai Rā

Tiaho mai rā te whetū o te ata

Kōpū i te ao, Parearau i te pō 

Ka tū te ao marama, he ao hara

Tū mai rā koe hei tohu i ahau

Tū mai rā koe hei tohu i ahau

E kore te aroha e kaupare noa

Hoki mai rā ki ahau e te tau

Hoki mai rā ki ahau e te tau

Haka lyrics

Ara Ngāpuhi e

‘Hakatangatanga ki runga

‘Hakatangatanga ki raro

Tēnei ngā pū, tēnei ngā hāmanu

Tihei ngā iti o Ngāpuhi e

Kohaorau

He Atua kei roto nana i tīkaro ake ki ngā maioro kokokai

Hei ka ki te Atua, hei kanapu i te rangi

Neinahanaha pohora

Neinahanaha pohora

Ngāpuhi e!

 Lyrics for It's a long way, till tomorrow

Here is a song you should know

It's a long way, till tomorrow

And everything it holds

To the children as our future

We must teach them to be bold

Fathers and sons, mothers and daughters

Together as one

But here in Ōtautahi, 

What a great place to learn

Mā te tika, mā te pono

Me te rangimarie

Ka tae atuā ki te taumata

Tātou, tātou e

Kai Tahu te iwi, tangata whenua

Tū kaha, tū māira

But here in Ōtautahi,

What a great place to learn

It's a long way..
