I'm an Indian Kiwi who was in the NZ army, and when we went to the marae in the first week of basic, the moment everyone sang this waiata, that was the moment I felt connected to our land. I live in the big smoke now and it's easy to get lost and depressed in things that don't matter. What matters are the basic concepts that tikanga has, and the people around you. It isn't just a culture, it's a lifestyle. Thanks for this upload, brought back some nostalgia
Tumatauenga e karanga e te iwi e - Tumatauenga is calling to the people Kua eke mai nei ki runga te marae e - who have just set foot on this marae Mauria mai ra e nga mate o te motu e - Bring with you memories of all the dead Me nga tini roimata e maringi whanui e - and so many tears spilling forth nation-wide Titiro e nga iwi e nga mahi o te motu - Look at our people working across the land E hora atu nei e - Spread out far and wide Rū ana te whenua, whatiwhati te moana - Shaking is the ground, quivering is the sea Aue te aroha te mamae i ahau e - Oh, the love and the pain within me Rū ana te whenua whatiwhati. Hei! - The ground shakes and quivers, yeah! Tumatauenga = God of War Marae = gathering place
We still sing this after our rugby games in the prems and when we drink at the rugby clubrooms it’s always a vide at our rugby club everyone in NZ should know this song
ohhh hey this song is nga puhi song hahahaha and its not WHATI WHATI TE MOANA its TAKI WAA KI TE MOANA E lol but algd ppl change songs to suit their iwi goooo hard boyz u look gooooooooooooood hehehe
Just to let you know this waiata does not originate in the North, "Te Arawa" is the original version. It commemorates the visit of the children from Omaio School, near Opotiki, to Whaka-rewa-rewa Maori School at Rotorua in the early stages of World War Two

Tumatauenga e karanga e te iwi e
- Tumatauenga is calling to the people
Kua eke mai nei ki runga te marae e - who have just set foot on this marae
Mauria mai ra e nga mate o te motu e - Bring with you memories of all the dead
Me nga tini roimata e maringi whanui e - and so many tears spilling forth nation-wide
Titiro e nga iwi e nga mahi o te motu - Look at our people working across the land
E hora atu nei e - Spread out far and wide
Rū ana te whenua, whatiwhati te moana - Shaking is the ground, quivering is the sea
Aue te aroha te mamae i ahau e - Oh, the love and the pain within me
Rū ana te whenua whatiwhati. Hei! - The ground shakes and quivers, yeah!
Tumatauenga = God of War
Marae = gathering place
