Te Waka o Rangi

 I te tauihu o te Waka o Rangi, ko Matariki

Ko Pohutakawa te tamāhine, te kaikawe o ngā mate

E rere ana Taramainuku, te kaihoutu

O te Waka o Rangi ki te kohi ngā apahau waiho e...i

I te kupenga tātai tuarangi nui

Ka whakapuputia rātou i te rua, he rua parauri, he pōkē, he wheuri

E taria e....i

I te whitinga o te rā, ko Matatahi

Ka ruirui i ngā mate ki te uma o Rangi

Kua whetūrangitia rātou, he Ikaroa, he huarahi

Me mihi ki ngā mana kei tua o te pae o maumahara, hei ha! Mānawatia Matariki mā Puanga

Te Matariki

He waiata nā Te Anatipa (Morvin) Simon

Te Matariki

E tū kōhikohiko mai ana i te rangi, i runga

Te Matariki

Koia nei ko te tīmatatanga o te tau Māori

Te Matariki

E whakaatuhia mai rā kia whakatōkia te kūmara

Mihia ngā whetū me ngā hua korero

(Te Matariki, koia nei ko te tīmatatanga o te tau Māori)

Kia hiwa rā

Kia hiwa rā, kia hiwa rā

E ngā iwi o te motu e 

Ka tutū iho rā te puehu

Ki runga i te whenua

Kei whea rā te huarahi

Me ngā rere o te wā 

Kei whea rā te otinga

Mō te rangatahi e

Ka haere tāua ki Te Kupenga

Ki te rapu mātauranga e

Hei rākau mō taku iwi

Kia rite taku moemoea

Tuatahi ko te ara

o te Matua i te Rangi e

Tuarua, ko te taura

Hei here i te tangata

Whakawātea

Kua too te raa kua tau hinga

Ki toona rua whakawaikura

Tahuri te kei o tooku waka whakarei

Ki ngaa ringa raahiri o te hau kaainga

Teenei maatou ka mihi

Ki te huinga tangata kua whakarauika

Kia mau kia ita ki teenei kaupapa

Whakahere I aa taatou e

E te iwi, aku nui aku rahi

Te hunga tangata noo ngaa hau e whaa

Whaaia kia tata te matauranga

Hei whakamaarohi te iwi Maaori

Teenei maatou ka mihi

Ki te huinga tangata kua whakarauika

Kia mau kia ita ki teenei kaupapa

Whakahere I aa taatou e

Whakahere I a taatou e

Whakahere I a taatou e

(Hikitia hapainga too mana motuhake ki runga I te rangi hi)

Ara Tīhei mauri ora, E noho Ngā Wai Hono

E noho Ngā wai hono, te hiri o Waikato

E huri too kanohi ki te hauāuru

Ngā tai e ngunguru I waho o Te Akau

Auē hei auē!

Tō pikitanga ko te ao o te rangi
Tō heketanga ko Karioi maunga
Tō hoenga waka ko Whaingāroa
Auē hei auē!

Takahia atu rā te moana i Aotea
Kia whatiwhati koe i te hua o te miro
Te tihi o Moerangi te puke okiokinga
Auē hei auē! 

E puia ki Kāwhia Moana
Ki Kāwhia tai, ki Kāwhia tangata
Ko te kupu tēnā a ō tūpuna
Auē hei auē!

E huri tō kanohi ki Pirongia maunga

Ki te rohe pootae ki Arekahanara

Ko te haona kaha o te Rungarunga rawa

Auē, hei auē!

 

Paakia oo ringa ki te Kauhanganui,

Te Paki o Matariki, ngaa whakaoati

Ko Kemureti raa toona oko horoi,

Auē, hei auē!

 

E tū tō wae ki te kei o Tainui

Tēnei too hoe, ko te Tekau-maa-rua

Ngā tai e marino I waho o Kārewa

Auē, hei auē!

E hoe tō waka ki Ngāruawāhia
Tūrangawaewae mō te Kingitanga
(Ko) te tongi whakamutunga a Matutāera
Auē hei auē! 

Tāiri te aroha ia, hā hā!
Toro mai ō ringa me aroha tāua
Auē Hikitia! Auē Hāpainga!
Auē hei auē!

Ki te Kuini maori e tu nei.

Whiti ki te ora. Whiti ki te rangimarie,

E te Hokowhitu a Tu kia kaha ra

 

E te Hokowhitu a Tu kia kaha ra  Kati ra te hingahinga ki raro ra Ma nga whakaaro kei runga rawa Hei arahi ki te ara E tika ai Whirinaki, whirinaki tatou katoa Kia kotahi ra Nga marae e tu noa nei Nga maunga e tu noa nei Aue ra e tama ma Te mamae te pouri nui E patu nei i ahau ina

Oh brave band of Tu be strong Do not let yourselves be struck down Let your thoughts be always heavenwards To guide you along the path That is the proper one Depend, depend each upon the other and Lonely stands our marae Lonely stands our mountains Ah! To you our sons The pain and the deep sadness Beating within me so
