Aue
Taukuri e, aue, aue

Aue, he tangi aroha e
He punawai roimata
He ngākau mokemoke
Na tō wehenga atu

Aue, ka e rere mai tō reo
Ki runga i te hau
Pakaru noa nei ahau
I te maharatanga

Aue, aue, Taukuri e Aue



~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Oh, the depth of my pain
Oh, my grief and love
Overflows with tears
The loneliness of my heart
Now that you have gone

Your voice is carried to me 
Carried upon the wind
I am broken within
As I remember you	

Oh, the depth of my pain.

TITLE: 		Tangata Whenua
WRITTEN BY : 	Karl Teariki

Ko te mea nui o te Ao, ko te tangata
Ko te mea nui o te tangata, ko te whenua
Mā te whenua,
Ka ora te iwi Māori

Te Iwi Māori
Tangata Whenua

He mea pai ki te tangata whenua
He mea pai anō ki ngā tāngata katoa
he whānau kotahi ngā mea katoa
Ki tā te Ao Māori.

Te Iwi Māori
Tangata Whenua

I heke ngā uri i ngā atua
Ko tātou rā, he atua! he tangata!
Inā rā nga kōrero a ngā tīpuna.
O te Iwi Māori 

Te Iwi Māori
Tangata Whenua

Kei warewaretia te moana 
Kei warewaretia te whenua

He  oranga kei te moana
He oranga kei te whenua

Ko te reo o te manawa ko te aroha
Ko te reo o te aroha ko te roimata
He ua roimata nā Ranginui
Ki a Papatuanuku e
He ua roimata nā Ranginui
Ki a Papatuanuku e







People are the greatest resource of the world
The greatest resource of humankind
It is from the land that 
Maori derive wellbeing

The Maori People
People of the land

What’s good for Māori
Is good for everybody
For in the Māori cosmos
All creation is one family

The Maori People
People of the land

Descended from the Gods
That is all of us, a Divine being! 
a Human Being! 
As what was spoken 
by the Maori Ancestors

The Maori People
People of the land

Do not forget the connection to the 
Sea
Do not forget the connection to the land

The ocean and the land 
Are the wellbeing of us all

The language of the heart is Love
Tears are the way love speaks
Like tears of rain from Sky Father
To his beloved 
Our earth mother
Like tears of rain from Sky Father
To his beloved 
Our earth mother


Tangata Whenua

TITLE:		Toanui
WRITTEN BY :	Karl Teariki

Moemoea, Toanui
Moemoea, Toanui 

Ka tangi te karoro o te moana
I rongo ahau i tōu ingoa.

Kua tō te rā, kua haere mai ngā kapua,
I rongo ahau i tōu ingoa

Mā te wā tōu wairua me tōku wairua
Ka rere me ngā kāhu

Moemoea, Toanui
Moemoea, Toanui

I ētahi wā ka titiro ahau ki te awa,
I rongo ahau i tōu ingoa

I ētahi wā ka titiro ahau ki te awa,
Ka rongo ahau i tōu ingoa

Mā te wā tōu wairua me tōku wairua
Ka rere me ngā kāhu

Mā te wā, ka rerekē ngā tae o ngā whetū tirama
Inā kanikani i mua i a koe

Mā te wā, ka kite anō koe i ōu kahurangi

Moemoea, Toanui
Moemoea, Toanui



Dream Toanui
Dream

As the seagull cries across the ocean
I hear your name

The sky gets dark as the clouds roll by
I hear your name

The time will come,
When our spirits ascend skyward
with the hawks

Dream Toanui
Dream

Sometimes when I look to the ocean,
I sense your name

Sometimes, when I look to the river
I sense your name

One day,
Our spirits will fly in the sky
Just like hawks

One day the colours of the stars
As they dance before you


One day you will see your treasured ones again,

Dream Toanui

TITLE:		Ko Te Reo
WRITTEN BY :	Karl Teariki

Ko te reo rangatira
He taonga nō ngā tīpuna
Tuku iho, tuku iho
Ki a tātou i Te Ao hurihuri

Ko te Reo Rangatira
He hononga te reo,
Ki ngā tīpuna
Kia hoki koe ki tō ūkaipō
Ko Papatuanuku e takoto nei e
Te whaea o Te Ao Mārama
Me tōna whaiāipo ki runga 
Ko Ranginui e tū iho nei
Te Matua o Te Ao Mārama.

Ko te reo rangatira
He taonga tuku iho
Tuku iho i ngā tīpuna
Ki ngā tamariki
Ki ngā taitama
Ki ngā pakeke
Ki ngā koroua
Ki ngā kūia
Ko te Reo Rangatira 
Ko te Reo Māori E

Iti nei, iti nei
Ka hangaia e te manu 
tōna kohanga

Iti nei, iti nei
Ka tipu te pī
arā he manu tīoriori





The Chiefly language
Is a treasure from the ancestors
Handed down, handed down, 
To us, in this changing world

The Chiefly language
It is a link
To the ancestors
Return to the Maternal links
Of our Papatuanuku below us
The Mother of the world of light
And her beloved Ranginui
The Sky Father high above


The Chiefly language
Is a treasure handed down. 
Handed down, from the ancestors
For the children
For the teenagers
For the adults
For the grandfathers
And the grandmothers
The chiefly language is
The Maori Language

Little by little
The bird builds its nest


Little by little
The baby bird grows
Into a songbird

Taku Papawira tino tere!
Taku Papawira tūmeke!

I a koe e tākaro

Me tiaki ō pōpoki whatianga

Me haere au mā runga i 
Taku papawira tino tere
Me mau potae mārō

Me mau tao turi, tao whatianga ringa

Taku Papawira tino tere
Taku Papawira Tūmeke

Nāna tērā papawira
Me haere tātou

My skateboard is really fast!
My skateboard is too much!

When you play with your skateboard
Make sure to look after
Your shoulders, elbows, and wrists


My skateboard is really fast!
My skateboard is too much!

This is my skateboard
And I ride on it
My really fast skateboard
I also wear a helmet
Because I’m a Skater
And elbow and knee pads

My skateboard is really fast!
My skateboard is too much!

This is my skate board
That’s your skateboard
That’s their skateboard
Let’s all go ride these skateboards


My skateboard is really fast!
My skateboard is too much!
