    I felt his spirit and the wairua of the song and whenua of Aotearoa, in my mind, soul, body and spirit. It reduces me to tears as Maori waiata and culture always does and has done in the past, present and will always do in the future and reminds me of my time of 38 years in this beautiful country and why I chose to come here, over other nations of choice. God bless him and the performers in this amazing, powerful, production that is definitely making a bold statement and a goosebumps like presence!!!

    'Te Ahi Kai Pō' - a song which tries to find resolve through times of despair.
    Nā te aha rā koe i moumou atu ai?
    Ko te kura koti whero
    He onekura toto te whakangarotanga
    Ki te riu o te whenua
    Why was your life wasted in this battle?
    The sea of red coats
    The land stained with blood
    Lost you are, to the pits of the earth…"
    Ria Hall

    Lyrics - English meaning
    He aha rā te ao e hora nei
    Ka kore noa ahau i a koe
    Nā te aha rā koe i moumou atu ai
    Ko te kura
    Ko te kura koti whero
    He onekura toto te whakangarotanga
    Ki te riu o te whenua
    I tau ai taku mauri
    I tau ai taku ngākau
    Ka rongo ahau i te aroha
    Ka kite ahau i te ahi kai pō
    Taukapo mai taku hinātore
    Taukapo mai i te pōkerekere
    I te pōuriuri
    Taku hinātore
    I tau ai taku mauri
    I tau ai taku ngākau
    Ka rongo ahau i te aroha
    Ka kite ahau i te ahi kai pō
    Ka hika taku ahi
    Ki a koe rā kautetetū
    Ka hika taku ahi
    He ahi kā
    E mahana i taku kiri māeke
    He ahi i tāmō
    He ahi e kore e mātao
    What is this world that I face?
    I would be nothing without you
    Why was your life wasted in this battle?
    The sea of red coats
    The land stained with blood
    Lost you are to the pits of the earth
    My peace is found
    My heart is still
    I feel your presence
    As the fire burns away the darkness
    Shine my beacon
    Shine through the despair
    Shine through the darkest of nights
    My beacon
    My peace is found
    My heart is still
    I feel your presence
    As the fire burns away the darkness
    My fire is sparked
    By Kautetetū
    My fire is sparked
    Its heat is intense
    My cold skin will be warmed
    My quivering body will be warmed
    An enduring fire
    A fire that will never be extinguished

    Absolutely captivating. I've never heard kapa haka vocals in an orchestral context like this before and it is every bit as powerful as you'd expect - by the end I felt like my blood was on fire, and I think if I were in that crowd I would have been in tears. Looking up the lyrics of the song, I understand why.
    I love seeing fellow Islanders using their craft so beautifully, and boldly occupying these spaces with the full dignity of our people. This is my first time hearing TEEKS, and this powerful song by Ria. As a Samoan creative myself, I am feeling both incredibly humbled and so inspired. Thank you all for this incredible experience!

    • @SpicyT257
      @SpicyT257 2 года назад +4

      From the description of Ria Hall's video (she originally wrote this waiata (song)): "'Te Ahi Kai Pō' means 'the fire burning away the darkness' and is in reference to finding peace following the aftermath of war. The battle of Te Ranga in June of 1864 is the inspiration for this song, which was an unplanned slaughter of many Māori. This spiritless attack was in retaliation to the battle of Pukehinahina, where the British found themselves at a loss to the Māori". Hope this helps
