To my mother Margaret Ngamako Johnstone (née Hohepa). This song was her favourite of all time. She died nearly 9years ago and today I cannot stop weeping for her because besides Jesus she is THE ONLY ONE IN MY LIFE WHO EVER LOVED ME UNCONDITIONALLY. Te Aroha Koe Mum xxxx
This song has been engraved in my mind by a truely remarkable human being of a Maori decent. I had a pleasure of meeting him at Mt Wellington Trust Tavern where he was performing in 1981and I will cherish that forever. I was a fresh Fijian Indian and I loved the song without speaking a word of Maori then. God bless you Sir.
A truly wonderful song sung by an amazing New Zealander. A proud man of his people and culture. His music bonded us and connected with both pakeha and maori. The feelings he stirs in our souls are truthful, without fear. As a teenager of that era I believe he contributed to the person I am today.

2024 and still listening to this gem! Because my dad loved this song, and growing up with this timeless tune is very deep for me! after burying my dad! 😪😔I miss you dad, Rest in Love, until that one Glorious Day 💌
I visited NZ 2 years ago from USA, and someone at a little store in Glenorchy told me about Prince Tui Teka (after he played Pokarekare Ana on his sound system, and I sang along in Maori :-) ). I actu ally found a tape in Aukland, and decided I want to learn this song in Maori also!!
Omg!! Sweet Memories. Old skool party tunes, My brother & I back in our youth day's would always sing these song's we wud try to out sing our parent's, auntie's, uncle's word for word. There wud be 3 acoustics playing my mum & her brother never a miss, my brother & the cousin's too, everyone wud share playing the 🎸 the spoons lol omg those were the good old days...
Loved it first time during my teen years and still stirs my heart strongly towards its words when I hear Prince Tui Teka sing it. Much respect to my Māori, Samoan, Tongan and Pasifika family.❤❤❤ Fiji🇫🇯🙏❤️🩹💝
Tui Teka's my uncle on my dads side even thou I didn't know him I still feel happy and sad when I listen to him sing. Beautiful song brings back hardout memories of back in the days.
I was in Samoa after the Tsunami helping with the rebuild. We had a big day mixing concrete and on my birthday of all days. We shared a meal with the family we were helping and this song was playing. I had to "step away" as this song brought on my home sickness for NZ
Iám a dutch women, & I'll be proud to sing this song for a special maori frend thats life in australia, he's verry sik, I Whe let him know that whe love him whit all oure hearts
omg i havent heard this song for sooooo long and being away from new zealand brought me back thank you so much for sharing this song.... love it cherish it xoxoxxoxoxx
spoke to missy tui teka years ago on the phone and conveyed how much this great man meant to me in my youth ... bless her and family and take special care of our prince :)
Timeless and priceless memories REKINDLED and awaken of this NZ MAORI SINGER and time capsule to treasure.His voice and songs that he had sung touches our hearts 💕 immensely.Hugs for sharing your Musical clips with us SOPH
Tena koe e hoa for uploading this song, good to get a healthy dose of home, being in Aussie and all, tena ra koutou katoa ki nga taangata maori kei roto i tenei whenua.
Southeast Asia, my dad was on tour with him, the tune of this song he heard an old lady in the paddy fields singing, on the plane home, he couldn't get the tune out of his head, 1982 he released this, my dad played sax. Uncle Tui was special, he would wake me up dad and the band in Flaxmere, my mum was his seamstress. she did all his band clothes for many 60's bands, I was born 1968 so he was in my life before I was born.
I love this song ... before the movie "What becomes of the broken hearted" I only knew this song in our own language "Mimpi sedih" ... but the meaning & feelings are the same ... LOVE
I dont really know the lyrics of the song very well...but all I know is that whenever I hear it, I feel very emotional....nice song..from your friend in Fiji.❤
I dedicate this waiata to my baby son stillborn july 2nd 09 who we named WHAIAIPO, the full word for IPO which means Darling or sweatheart! Love and miss u my baby! Na to Mama
2025 These waiata remind me of my parents, now in heaven, where I believe they’re with Prince Tui Teka. My little family built a gingerbread house in the sky, a place of love where we’ll all reunite one day-no matter where in the world we are, love knows no boundaries."
+Josh Taumoepeau That is my same wish. We did it in the 60's and 70's and the boom. Gone. I am so sad for beloved country. No more clean water, no more fish and alot in in fighting. Listen to Tui Teka people. Feel is love and message. I do not speak Maori but I feel it.

Does anyone have Prince Tui Teka's album, the man the music the legend. There is a song on there that I would like to listen to that can't be found anywhere. "One by One"

Beautiful, I am having this at my funeral it's so touching, I love the translation which you can find on google
