  • It is a present especially for nuffzed202
    ..........................................................
    A song of welcome composed for the return of Maori taonga in 1986, on their return from the Te Maori art exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum in New York.
    The cry of the morepork
    keeps coming back to me.
    It is hooting out there
    where the paths meet.
    I was the one
    who allowed you to go.
    It was curbed,
    my deep love for you
    But now the formal return home;
    greetings to you,
    How my heart weeps
    with joy.
    Still standing tall is the prestige
    and the enchantment of the ancestors
    who have passed on.
    Bring back the true spirit of the people
    to help heal the survivor
    crying like a slave (i.e. with loneliness)
    and searching for the true path
    for us all.

    Hi Maori Brothers & Sisters, This song I heard it for the first time in 1987, when I met a Maori Brother in the Sinai dessert working for a Peace Keeping Force MFO. His name is Mike Taankink. My roots is from the Moluccan Islands of Indonesia. My culture is very simular as the Maori culture, that's why Mike & I get along well together. Mike infected me with the Maori Culture. Since then until now, I always listen to Maori songs, if it is gospel, modern, as long my hearts is enjoying the song. I wish al my Maori Brothers & Sisters God Blessings.

    When I first heard this song I had no idea what was being said but the melody & the voices were so soothing. It sounded sacred...like a prayer. I stopped what I was doing & felt like praising God through this song. I felt humbled in the greatness of God`s creation & thankful that I am part of it. THEN, I read what the song was about. The haunting melody suits the lyrics perfectly.

    Through these past recent six years, I had had experiences in my life that seem to say that I might had been Polynesian in a past life. Particularly at Kahoolawe (Hawaii). Although New Zealand might not actually be one of those places, I still feel some kind of welcoming connection in their songs and their language is beautiful just like Hawaiian. It's songs like this one that always has a raw beauty to it. I like that.
    Amazing video and thank you for sharing. ^__^

    Introduction
    Tangi a te ruru,
    kei te hokihoki mai e
    E whaka-whero-whero
    i te putahitanga
    Nāku nei ra
    koe i tuku haere
    Tēra puritia iho
    nui rawa te aroha e
    Verse, sung twice
    Te Hokinga Mai,
    tēna koutou
    Tangi ana te ngākau
    i te aroha
    Tū tonu ra te mana
    te ihi o nga tupuna
    kua wehea atu rā
    Mauria mai te mauri tangata
    hei oranga mo te mōrehu
    tangi mōkai nei
    E rapu ana i te ara tika
    mo tātou katoa.
    Te Hokinga Mai,
    tēna koutou....
    Te Hokinga Mai,
    Te Hokinga Mai
    Tū tangata tonu!
    The cry of the morepork
    keeps coming back to me.
    It is hooting out there
    where the paths meet.
    I was the one
    who allowed you to go.
    It was curbed,
    my deep love for you
    But now the formal return home;
    greetings to you,
    How my heart weeps
    with joy.
    Still standing tall is the prestige
    and the enchantment of the ancestors
    who have passed on.
    Bring back the true spirit of the people
    to help heal the survivor
    crying like a slave (i.e. with loneliness)
    and searching for the true path
    for us all.
    Te Hokinga Mai!
    Te Hokinga Mai!
    Stand tall!

    @leadingshield You don't have to understand the words if you listen with your heart! 100% correct !! Yes my
    friend ! This is exactly was the reason, identify a song after 15 years and some.
    The first time I heard this song in 1993 in New Zealand. This was for 15 years and some the latest.
    Now I can understand the text. Best regards from Slovenia santorin 1000

    To pesem sem slišal prvič 1993 v Novi Zelandiji in to je bilo do dnevom zadnič.Pesem mi je ostala v ušesih za večno,kljub temu da nisem razumel besedila.Brskal sem po netu za pesmijo,ki sem ji poznal naslov" E Papa" ,pa sem na srečo kliknil naTe Hokinga Mai.Muziko na splošno obožujem.Verjetno si lahko predstavljaš kako mi je bilo ko sem prepoznal melodijo...Zatorej Sandor1900 hvala za čudovito opravljeno delo.
