E Noho E Ata


E Noho E Ata

Ara tihei maori ora e
Hi aue!

E noho e Ata te hiri o Waikato
E huri to kanohi ki te hauauru
Nga tai e ngunguru i waho o te akau
Aue hei aue! Hi aue!
Aue hei aue!

Ko pikitanga!
Ko pikitanga ko te au o te rangi
To heketanga ko Korioi maunga
To hoe nga waka ko Whaingaroa
Aue hei aue! Hi aue!
Aue hei aue!

Takahia atu ra!
Takahia atu ra te moana i Aotea
Kia whatiwhati koe i te hua o te miro
Te tihi o moerangi te puke okiokinga
Aue hei aue! Hi aue!
Aue hei aue!

Puia o mata!
Puia o mata ki Kawhia moana ki Kawhia kai ki Kawhia tangata
Ko te kupu tena a o tupuna
Aue hei aue! Hi aue!
Aue hei aue!

E hoe te waka!
E hoe te waka ki Ngaruawahia
Turangawaewae mo te Kingitanga
Te tongi whakamutunga a matu taera
Aue hei aue! Hi aue!
Aue hei aue!

Tairi te aroha!
Tairi te aroha i a ha ha!
Toro mai o ringa me aroha taua
Aue! Hikitia hi!
Aue! Hapainga hi!
Aue hei aue! Hi aue!
Aue hei aue!

Tihei maoriora hi!

  3. Just going by the video above, the first line is Arā tihei mauri ora e. Or ara. But yeah it's mauri not māori!
