Titiro mai. Whakarongo mai.
Here are three videos of the same waiata. Listen to them all. What differences do you notice? What is the same?
He kākano āhau-lyrics
He kākano āhau-lyrics
He kākano āhau
I ruia mai i Rangiātea
And I will never be lost
I am a seed, born of greatness
Descended from a line of chiefs,
He kākano āhau
Ki hea rā āu e hītekiteki 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
Ki hea rā āu e hītekiteki 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,
An ornament of grace,
An ornament of grace,
An ornament of grace.....
Whakarongo mai! You might have heard these songs before.
