Poroporoaki to Ranginui Walker

2 March 2016

Poroporoaki to Ranginui Walker

From Te Whakaruruhau o Nga Reo Irirangi Maori

Katanuku, katanuku

Katanuku, katanuku

Katanuku koa te tihi o te maunga, katanuku eeeii

E koro Ranginui

Kua oti kee tau pakanga

Kua oti kee tau hiikoikoi i runga i te mata o te whenua

Nau ano ra i whakatakoto i te huarahi hei whainga ma taatou

Nau ano ra nga kete i whakakii ai, hei matauranga ma taatou

Nau ano ra maatou i akiaki, i whakaohorere

Na reira e te matua, e te pou matakana o te ao Maori, moe mai

Moe mai e koe ki nga ringaringa o nga matua tupuna kua riro i te po ra

Mai i te po nui, ki te po ata,

Mai i te po ata ki te ata po

E koro moe mai, moe mai, moe mai ra
