    Te piki kōtuku kua riro atu rā
    Kua rere atu rā koe ki ngā rangi i runga
    Ki o rahi, ki o nui i te pō
    Waiho mai au, mokemoke ai - i te pō, i te pō
    E te rau aroha kua taka iho rā
    My rare white heron that has been taken...
    You have flown to the heavens above,
    To your many loved ones of the night
    Leaving me lost and alone in darkness
    My adored feather of affection that has fallen...
    Written back in 2010 for an uncle that tragically passed away , I never sang it anywhere. While in Guam this year (2016) another uncle who I loved very much passed away and I could not return to his tangihanga in Whangaparaoa... I was broken :( This song came straight back to me in an instant. On my return I ran a workshop with akonga from Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Ruamata and I taught the waiata to them. Within minutes, they had the feel, arrangement and parts sussed... and the rest is history.
    If this song moves you, heals you or touches you in any way, please feel free to sing it or play it.
    Dedicated to uncle John Waenga and uncle Ray Barrett.
    Arohanui - ROB

    I lost my greatest love and our unborn pēpi.. he's still alive but with a new wāhine. I'm a filipina living in the UK but I fell in love with Aotearoa when i visited and started learning te reo māori, it remains my goal and dream to move to NZ despite all the bitter feelings and no longer having anyone in Aotearoa that i know and can be there with me.
    This song is very healing and touching to listen to and sing along to. NUI TE AROHA

      I also wanna learn the Maori languages of all the Pacific, to deeply understand our language the way our most ancient ancestors may have.
