Week 2: Whakarongo Ake Au

Access video here (opens in new window): Whakarongo Ake Au


Māori

Whakarongo
Whakarongo!
Whakarongo ake au
Ki te tangi a te manu
E rere runga rawa e

Tui, tui, tui, tuia
Tuia i runga
Tuia i raro
Tuia i roto
Tuia i waho
Tui, tui, tuia

Kia rongo te ao
Kia rongo te pō
Tui, tui, tuia
Tehei mauri ora
English

Listen
Listen
I listen, where up high
A bird flies
It’s cry rings out

Sew, stitch, bind it together
From above
From below
From within
From outside
Sew and bind it together

During the day
And the night
Sew and bind it together
The breath of life
