  • OFFICIAL VIDEO: Waiaroha (feat. Maisey Rika)
    By: Rob Ruha
    This waiata speaks of the changing nature in relationships between lovers. It metaphorically expresses the journey of life and love through the symbol of a fern leaf on a river. At times the leaf is at the mercy of turbulent rapids and rushing water, other times its excited by the swift currents or caressed by the deeper, calm spots in the river. All currents eventually flowing towards the sea: the symbol of boundless unity.
    VIDEO CREDITS:
    Director: Glen Bates
    Producer: Lara Northcroft
    Artists: Marcus Winter (Sand Art) & Cilla Ruha (Poi)

"Nau te rourou, nāku te rourou - ka ora ai te iwi"
    Verse 1
    Maringi noa ngā roimata
    Kahu ai te pōuri
    Pokepokea mai te māramatanga
    O ngā whetū
    Pre-chorus
    Wai ka ripo, wai ka huri te rau aruhe
    Aue, pupū - hihī
    Mirimiri te rau aruhe
    [E] tanuku i ngā waipuke
    Chorus
    Wai aroha rere tōtika
    Rere tika ki te moana
    Waiho ngā pikotanga
    Kia aio te rere, te rere
    Kaua e papaki kino e wai
    I ngā pari e tāwharau nei
    Te aruhe taku rau taonga
    Wai-aroha, wai-marino
    Verse 2
    Hikina te pō; haruru te ao, haruru te wai
    I nga kōawa o aku mahara
    Pōraruraru noa
    Pre-Chorus , Chorus
    Bridge
    Taupatupatu, pōteretere te rau aruhe
    Kati te kō e wai
    I te rau e whana nei e koe
    Chorus

    I am a proud Pakeha New Zealander; who is so thankful the Maori; who had their heritage denied many years ago, have finally found their way back to their roots. Be proud of who you are. You are special people, I am proud to have stood beside many of you all my life. Aroha. Kia Kaha.

    This song always hits hard for me. Lost the love of my life 5 years ago. He was Maori and I always loved hearing of his mother's culture as our relationship flourished. I miss him so much. The tears never stop while this plays, but I suppose it helps a bit. Still feels as it was yesterday that he left us.

Not quite understanding the kupu but definitely felt the aroha, passion, soul and wairua. Bought tears to my eyes with feelings of gratefulness, thankfulness and humility. This will be my song to walk down the aisle on my wedding day on the 30th January 2021. Nei ra te Mihi Rob and Maisey for such a beautiful waiata.

The last art of a women and man in the middle of a heart is very close to the art I did years ago in Gisborne. When I saw it again through this artist I was moved to tears. Was sooo wonderful to see. Thank you
