Haka - Ringa i Puia



Tu tane!
Ringa i puia
E torona o te taua e, hau tonu mai runga o Matawhaura
I a ha ha
Haria mai o tika
Haria mai o kaha kia kite aue ha
I a ha ha
Tenei ano au kei te takahuri
Tenei ano au kei te oreore no hea hei tika
I a ha ha
Hei ti korokoro
Hei ti wahine
Hei ti tangata
I a ha ha
He aha ko au
Me whakapiri ki taha tete
Me whakapiri ki taha komako
Tu tu ai
Aue ngere ake
Ana, ana, aue hi!






Pinepine te kura


Pinepine te kura, hau te kura
Whanake te kura raro i Awarua

Ko te kura nui, ko te kura roa
Ko te kura o tawhiti nā Tuhaepo
Tēnei te tira hou, tēnei haramai nei

Ko Te Umurangi nā Te Whatuiapiti
Nau mai e tama ki te taiao nei
Kia whakangungu-a koe ki te kahikatoa

Ki te tū-matakuru, ki te taraongaonga
Ngā tairo rā e nāhau e Kupe
I waiho i te ao nei

Piki ake, kake ake i te toi huarewa
Te ara o Tawhaki, i piki ai ki runga
I rokohina atu ra, Maikuku-Makaka
Hapai-o-maui he waha i pa mai
Taku wahine purotu! Taku tane purotu!

Korua ko te tau e

August 9, 2017 Chantek, one of the world’s most famous apes, had passed away. The male orangutan was among the first apes to learn sign language, could clean his room and even went to college to study. However, he died on Monday at age 39, at Atlanta Zoo. Chantek, who was taught by a trainer who raised him like her own child, was being treated for heart disease. He is one of the oldest male orangutans in North American zoos and was born at the Yerkes Regional Primate Research Center in Atlanta. He was among a handful of primates who could communicate using American Sign Language.

Kikiki kakaka (Haka)



Kikiki kakaka kau ana!
Kei waniwania taku aro,
Kei tara wahia kei te rua i te kerokero!
He pounga rahui te uira ka rarapa;
Ketekete kau ana, to peru kairiri:
Mau au e koro e.
Hi ha ka wehi au ka matakana.
Ko wai te tangata kia rere ure
Tirohanga nga rua rerarera,
Nga rua kuri kakanui i raro?

Ka mate! Ka mate!
Ka ora! Ka ora!
Tenei te tangata puhuruhuru
Nana nei i tiki mai whakawhiti te ra!
Upane, ka upane!
Whiti te ra!
I'm jabbering and quivering,
stuttering, shaking and naked!
I'm brushed by your body
your formed curves, pulsating with energy!
Forbidden mysteries are revealed;
banter and closeness, flushed looks:
I am caught in a trap.

I'm scared but fully alert.
Who is this man with thrusting weapon
investigating the hot moist flesh,
so pungent beneath him?

I am dying, I'm dead!
No, I'm alive, fully alive!
a virile man
who can bring joy and peace!
Together, side by side
We can make the sun shine!

continually bubbling up
a river that will keep flowing
from within the very seat of the emotions.

From a very deep source
it will keep on rising

an ebb tide
an incoming tide
a forceful tide
a living tide
a full tide.

that I become
the house of mankind." 

A simple girl
A strong-hearted girl
A quiet girl.

The Mother of Jesus,
and the mother

Strip us of our sins;

Give us back what we have lost;
so that we, the slaves of sin, may be with you again. 

Do not lead us into temptation;
Engari whaka-orangia10 matou, i te kino:

Nou hoki te rangatira-tanga,
te kaha,
me te kororia,

Ake, ake, ake.
