Te Reo

Tahi, rua, toru, whā

He aha rā he mahi pai? What is good work?

Hei ōranga mō te tinana healthy for the body

Hīkoitia te hīkoi roa Long walking

Omatia te oma roa Long running

Hei hiki te patu Manawa To lift up your beating heart.

Kaua e pōturi e Don’t be slow!

Kia kakama, toitia e Be quick and active

Kia pakaru te werawera tTake care the legs aren’t broken

Turi Whatiwhati Snapped into pieces and

Waewae whana roa Your legs will travel you far

Hei hiki te patu Manawa To lift up your beating heart.

Hei hiki te patu Manawa To lift up your beating heart.

Na Tane

Na Tane i piki ake ki te Toi ahurewa

Ki te tiki i nga kete o te maatauranga

Ko te kete Tuauri

Ki te Ao hurihuri o tatau tipuna

Ka hao te taura herenga tangata

Ki te kura o Tākaro

Tane-nui-a-rangi climbed the 12 overworlds

to get the 3 baskets of knowledge

kete Tuauri (things petaning to Rangi and Papa)

kete Tuatea (balance of life)

kete Aronui (Arts)
