Here are the lyrics: Tu tangata, mahea, tangi tonu ahau, Tu tangata, mahea, tangi tonu ahau. I tona waietu totara koe, piomahaki ana e, Whakakoana i te ahi o, tangi ana hou, Mana mai nga tipuna, potatau kia mau, Tu tangata, mahea, tangi tonu ahau. I nga te i te ahau kapapa, tu te i, te kura e, Tu tangata, mahea, tangi tonu ahau, Once I stood like a Totara tree, gently swaying in the breeze, I hear a whisper in the air, and I cry. I feel my tipuna everywhere, even next to me, Proud & noble, strong & free and still I cry. Tu tangata, mahea, tangi tonu ahau, Tangi tonu ahau, aue! Tu tangata, mahea, tangi tonu ahau.
Tū tangata, māhea, tangi tonu ahau Tū tangata, māhea, tangi tonu ahau I tōnā wā i tū totara koe Pioi māhaki ana e Whakakoanga i te āio Tangi ana ahau Pā ana mai ngā tipuna Pā tata ki ahau Tū tangata māhea tangi tonu ahau I mate i te au tāpapa Tū te- te kura e Tū tangata māhea tangi tonu ahau Ngā mihi- I think these kupu would be more correct. Sorry- I didn't know them, but knew the above translation was wrong, just so you beautiful mokos can sing i te reo. Mauriora.
Every day that I awaken I am grateful to be alive. But I am so humbly grateful to have been born of Maori decent to this beautiful country called Aotearoa. No matter where I am on this planet. I know where the best place on earth is. I sometimes wonder what this beautiful country will be like in years to come. We are doing okay being caretakers . . . . only just though. Respect the taonga that is AOTEAROA so that our garndchildren may enjoy it after we have passed on

every time i hear this, i cant help but think of the better moments in life, and what a world we live in. its still hard to believe that we live in a country as magnificent
Love both versions this one and Te mokai Totara Tree iykyk... Sad time at this moment of me typing this right now... An autistic boy is reported missing since the 11th August 2024 2pm in Tiniroto Gisborne... Amazing I came across this song at this moment right now 😢 preying for the boys safety and return 🥺🫶🏾❤️
Miharo!!! Had the privilege to hear this song played live by maisey rika and her brother. Tinged with sadness as this song is what we sang as a whanau for my koro when he was killed in the bush.
MEAN MAORI MEAN... thanx 4the reminder of how beautiful AOTEAROA is.. makez me home sick... mana wahine toa Maisey Rika has so much wairoa in here voice.. very inspiring..MUCH LOVE AROHANUI FROM WHANAU ABROARD
It's a beautiful waiatata I cry everytime I play it I remember all my whanau I've lost since I've been brought up and adopted out now got older children It's hard to tell them because we were only young growing up knowing nothing. This song is all I can go back on I can't even tell my kids.

Thank you for the lyrics to this beautiful song that speaks to my heart.
Tū tangata, māhea, tangi tonu ahau
