Te Pikikotuku

[@PodSummers]

I left Aotearoa in January 2023 and I listen to this so often as I feel instantly connected to it from the bustle of London.

[@glenhaami]

I can’t explain it but this waiata is so powerful it brings me to tears, I could listen to it for the rest of my life

[@faydrarika79]

The waiata is connecting to your wairua...That's beautiful and powerful!

[@MS-xn8ub]

Lyrics: Ko te ata māhina Ata tuhi, ata rapa Maiea te putanga o Tamanuiterā Ko te ata hāpara Mahea te pō Ka ao, ka awatea Ki te whaiao, ki te ao mārama Kōrihi te manu Kōki te oro Ko te ata pō Te kōpara e kō ake i te ata Ka ao, ka awatea Ki te whaiao, ki te ao mārama (Hui e, tāiki e)

[@rymy0630]

I'm a God - fearing person. I love God but I can't figure this out... I can barely understand this song; but I know that it is worship in a high form to the Most High

[@nakinz109]

Well that's all well and good but fuck god. This comes from balance - mother and father. Not the blood thirsty, mass murdering dictator that is east and west's G.O.D.
