Hipokina Mai



E Ihowa                                  Lord
Hipokina mai ahau                 Cover me my Lord
Kia ma tonu ai                        Purify my heart
Kia ora tonu ai                      Sanctify my soul
Toku ngakau

E Ihu                                      Jesus
Kua tapu to ingoa                 The name that I adore
Uhia mai to korowai             Drench me in your love
Aroha                                              

Ka koropiko ahau                 I bow down
Ki to aroaro                          in your presence
Ma to kororia                       Clothed in your glory
Kite ana to mata                   It’s your face that I seek
Kotahi atu te inoi                 Unto you I surrender            
Ki a koe e Ihowa                  Lift my hands unto thee
Wairua tapu                          Come Holy Spirit
Nau mai ra                            Cover me
Wairua tapu                          Come Holy Spirit
Nau mai ra                            Cover me

Karakia

Manawa mai te mauri nuku
Manawa mai te mauri rangi
Ko te mauri kai au,
he mauri tipua
Ka pakaru mai te po
Tau mai te mauri
Haumi e, hui e, taiki e!

Embrace the life force of the earth
Embrace the life force of the sky
The life force I have gathered is powerful
And shatters all darkness
Come great life force
Join it together, it is done!

Waiata tira te maunuhanga mai i Hawaiiki

Waiata tira te maunuhanga mai i Hawaiiki x2
He waka tipua
He waka atua
Te waka Tākitimu e!
Waiatatia te maunuhanga mai i Hawaiki x2

He maiangi nui
He maiangi roa
He maiangi tipua
Whakaea te waka ki runga ki te karemoana. x2

Tū-hikitia rā
Tū-hapainga rā
Tū-whakaeaea e
Rauawatia te waka o Tamatea-Arikinui x2

Tōia mai te waka, utaina mai te waka
Kauria te moana e
Ngā tai porongia
Ngā tai whaka-ruturutu
Ngā tai o Ruamano e


He rei ngā niho
He terenga parāoa
Ko Hine-makehurangi e
Ko Hine Korito
Ko Hine Kōtea, te uru o Paikea e"

Tōia mai te waka, utaina mai te waka
Kauria te moana e
Ngā tai porongia
Ngā tai whaka-ruturutu
Ngā tai o Ruamano e

He rei ngā niho
He terenga parāoa
Ko Hine-makehurangi e
Ko Hine Korito
Ko Hine Kōtea, te uru o Paikea e"

Ko tangata
E tu pa whai ake
Ko Takitimu
E tu pa whai ake
E tu pa whai ake
E tu pa whai ake
He waka tipua
He waka atua
Te waka Tākitimu e!


This is a "waiata whakahirahira" - literally meaning an "uplifting song". The whole guts of the song talks about praising one of the famous migrating waka (cannoe) that brought some of the first Māori from their ancestral lands of Hawaiki, over to Aotearoa (New Zealand). That waka is of course known as Tākitimu (also known as Tākitumu over in Rarotonga.) It also goes into some detail of particular names that influenced the boat's journey to NZ. Here are the lyrics:

'A surreal canoe

A canoe of great stature
This canoe known as Tākitimu!
[This is] the song about it's departure from Hawaiki''It rises greatly
It rises broadly
It rises unbelievably
Let the boat be complete with the waters-where-it-belongs'
(Maunuhanga refers to the 'drawing out' of something, i.e. boat onto water.)
(Karemoana refers to the sea in a way where there is a close bond to it. Kare = longing, moana = water. So it basically says that Tākitimu had a really good affinity with the water. Whakaea roughly translates to something that's finished/complete/doesn't-need-anything-more.)

(The word "Tū" in this context acts as an amplifier to what follows. Where whakaeaea would mean 'be complete/settled' Tū-hikitia means 'to be absolutely complete.' Hikitia & hāpainga both refer to 'lifting up'. The last line refers to the guy who commanded the boat, Tamatea-Arikinui. Don't ask me what rauawatia means. It's something about the top boards on the hull of the boat - no idea what that is.) 

'Row the boat, bring it closer to (NZ's) shore,
As it glides across the sea.
The sharp tides,
The rough tides,
The tides of Ruamano' (the Taniwha that accompanied the canoe)

The first two lines translate as:
'These ivory teeth
[mark the] gathering of whales.'
And the rest of it refer to the names of the whales; descendants of Paikea. (The whales listed also accompanied Tākitimu on its journey.)
