Rū nui, rū roa
Riu nui, riu roa
Rua nui, rua roa
Te rū i riu
Te rū i te rua
Te rū i mokotia
Te riu i mokotia
Te rua i mokotia
Ruaimoko, Ruaimoko, Ruaimoko
Ka tanuku koa te tihi o Aorangi, ka tanuku
E rere rā taki atu taki mai ngā wai o Waitaki, e rere rā
E rere rā taki mai ngā waipuke i aku kamo, e rere rā
Aku kura ki te hau
Nāku i tiki i te pōuriuri
I te pō tangotango
I a Hinemanuhiri, i a Ruaimoko
E tuki rā i te whēnua
Nā Te Kāhautu Maxwell i whakapākehātia.English translation by Te Kāhautu Maxwell
Causing earthquakes
Creating valleys
Creating caverns
Earthquakes creating valleys
Earthquakes creating caverns
The earthquake that tattooed the land
The valleys that tattooed the land
The caverns that tattooed the land
Ruaimoko God of earthquakes tattooer of the land
The summit of Aorangi has collapsed, has fallen
The waters of the Waitaki ebb and flow, likewise the tears of my eyes well fourth
The loved ones that I seek out in the darkest night
The never ending night of Hinemanuhiri
And where Ruaimoko resides whom shakes the land violently

[@marionbolter1012]

Thanks, I'm just in Germany but I want to live in NZ and when I'm listen I feel so close to this wonderful country

[@SalznPfeffer658]

Hallöchen, If you already feel bonded now, then you're halfway there. ;-)
A word of caution: NZ has many issues and isolation is a strong barrier to overcome. Visit NZ first to get a "feel" for the communities you're interested in. I would vere away from Auckland but consider smaller places like -upper North Island places or middle North Island like Whangarei, Hamilton, Gisborne, Taupo, Rotorua, Raglan, where Māoritanga is stronger. Or the South Island if you like less people and beautiful landscapes.
When you come, don't be afraid to ask for help, kiwi appreciate being helpful especially someone who wants to be part of us. With Māori, it'll be a wee harder as we generally look like everyone and living in varying degrees, within the English world and the Māori world. If you can connect with Māori friends, they'll bring you into the Māori world in time. But in the meantime, YT has great te Reo language videos to get yourself into. It'll be easy for you as Reo has the same vowel sounds as Deutsch. Just softer. ;-)
Nga Mihi nui und tschüßie!

I miss home so much. Cant believe the amount of lockdowns happening here in Australia. Stopping us from returning home. This whole covid thing is ridiculous now. I really feel for those who couldn't return home to say their last goodbyes to their whānau🥺. Kia ora maisey for making me feel like I'm home.

Ruiamoko is the god of earthquakes. The unborn child of Papatuanuku earth mother left in her womb to keep her company from the loss of being separated from her husband Ranginui sky father when her born children separated them from their grasp so that life could begin. ;-)
