Rawé Māori boy! What is the name of this waiata please? And lyrics? 🤍

[@nikiTricoteuse]

The waiata is Tahu potiki And l found the lyrics (English translation at the bottom). Tahupotiki taku tupuna Hoki wairua mai arohaina e Ki o uri e karanga ake ra Aratakina to iwi aue Aoraki te maunga ariki Hei whakamaru te iwi kei raro Takitimu waka whakairo Hoea hoea ra te moana Aue e koro e - E Koro Hei whakamahana Kore rawa koe e warewaretia Huakina mai ra ki o tamariki Nga tikanga o nga matua tipuna Aoraki te maunga ariki Hei whakamaru te iwi kei raro Takitimu waka whakairo Hoea hoea ra te moana Ngai Tahu te iwi ki Te Waipounamu Maranga mai Tahu-pōtiki, my ancestor may your spirit bring back compassion to us your offspring, calling for your tribe to be led, alas. May Mount Cook our sacred mountain protect this tribe here below. May Takitimu, our sacred voyaging craft still carry us upon this sea of life. Oh Grandfather, you warmed our hearts. You will never be forgotten. Revealed to your children are the teachings of the ancestors. May Mt Cook our sacred mountain protect this tribe here below. May Takitimu our sacred voyaging craft still carry us upon the sea of life Oh, Tahu's descendants in the South Island rise up!
