Kia Ora balas (brothers) blo me, thank you for doing this song . It is similar to a song we sing in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island style. Sings of our ancestors (tupenas- hope I spelt it right) and how they went before us and their journeys across the land and sea guided by the constellations, the, moon and sun, and now we are the ones who need to, or will walk the same paths they did with respectful pride in our culture and to teach what is right and respectful to the young people and to right the wrongs of the past. Yesu Bless you, my brothers. Wai keri bagaire, Debe Kine, from The Torres Strait Islands and Australia. Big Esso for this song again. It makes me feel happy but very emotional too.
Thank you brother we see your comments and we admire your culture. Your knowledge that you have given us over the last few days has been amazing we truly treasure this bless you brother may our torres strait islanders and Australian Aboriginal brothers and sisters stay strong in their fight to overcome colonisation
nothing but love and respect for that pathway that gets us back home. the pathway that we took hundreds of thousands of years ago to get us here will get us all home
My mum just asked me to find a good version of this waiata, I played her this and it’s been on repeat for the last half hour lol shot guys, mean Maori mean
I played this to my Mum and said "remember this song, mum? You use to play it to us all the time when we were kids!" She was happy as. Had on repeat for ages! Keep coming back to it.
What's wrong with me My bones are creaking My eyes are leaking Memories Summer of '62 My friend Wayne Ngati Parou Sang just like you Taught me te reo. When that crash took you Wayne My heart broke in two. Now the maggots are eating my body buddy And the drugs don't ease the pain I know you'll be waiting for me ehoa We'll go catching eels again.

Introduction
Tangi a te ruru,
kei te hokihoki mai e.
E whaka-whero-whero
i te putahitanga.
Nāku nei ra koe
i tuku kia 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,
Te Hokinga Mai
Tū tangata tonu!
