Tihei
mauri ora, Let live the
essence of life
Taku tamaiti e...i puta mai ra koe,
Oh my child...you are born
i te toi, kai Hawaiki, From the
origins, of Hawaiki
Te Okanga
mauriora ki te rangi, I pierce
into the heavenly realms
Te Okanga mauriora ki te whenua, I
pierce into the earthly regions
He maioha o te ngakau,
Affectionate greeting of the heart
Ko te mokopuna, The grandchild,
the descendant
Ka titiro whakarunga ki Whakapunake,
Cast your gaze upon Whakapunake
Ki te hau pure ora o Tawhirimatea,
To the ceremonial rites of Tawhirimatea
Hinana mataratara ki Ramoto Kireara,
Searching is the westerly wind to
Ramoto
Ramoto Kireara Kireara, Ramoto
Kireara
Ka hua te aroha, That bears the
fruits of love
Te ihi, te mana - mauri e rank,
Power - life principle
This is
our acknowledgment to all realms,
Te Po (Realm of
darkness), Te Ao Marama (Realm of light), Whaikorero
(Oratory) and Karanga (Summoning).
It speaks of our
relationships, vital essence and the tribal boundaries
of our home district.
My late grandfather whom I refered
to as dad - Te Okanga Kahutapere Huata open's with a
special message for us all
