Week 10: Tu Mai Ra

This week's waiata is Rangitāne 'Tu Mai Ra'


Māori

Tu mai ra, tu mai ra
Nga uri o Rangitane
Whakamau ki to tupuna
To whakapapa rangatira
Me mau tonu i nga hononga
o nga karangamaha o roto ra
No reira, Rangitane ma
Tu mai ra, tu mai ra e

This week's waiata is Ehara I Te Mea. Video posted in YouTube by delmarae100, 17 Oct 2011.



Māori

Ehara i te mea
No naianei te aroha
No nga tupuna
Tuku iho tuku iho

Te whenua te whenua
Te oranga mo te iwi
No nga tupuna
Tuku iho tuku iho

Whakapono tumanako
Te aroha ki te iwi
No nga tupuna
Tuku iho tuku iho
English

It is not a new thing
Now that is love
Comes from the ancestors
Handed down through the passages of time

The land, the land
Is the life for the people
Comes from the ancestors
Handed down through the passages of time

Faith and hope
Love to the people
Comes from the ancestors
Handed down through the passages of time
