Poi E - Patea Maori Club with lyrics

[@rhusradicans2122]

Canadian here! Love this song, love New Zealand - we've been there twice and are going again in February 2024 They say Canadians are polite & welcoming, but they don't hold a candle to the Kiwi's. And this song, brings me back to NZ every time I hear it - such joy and strength! I heard it first when I watched the movie "Boy" which is one of my favourites - highly recommended to all out there who haven't yet seen it. Directed by NZ's own Taika Waititi. Much love and bliss to NZ from the Great White Snowy North!

They still got it. Was privileged to have had Patea Maori Club perform at our Intermediate school back in 1985 and my sister and a few of our neighbours won a breakdancing competition to this song ($50 each for teens was aLOT of money back in those days 👍🏼😊)

[@jaminesonymorgan8428]

Nice one congratulations

[@franknberry333]

Beautiful Waiata, brings so many memories each time I hear it. Thanks you Patea Maori Club.

[@ah7910]

Love the tribute on the screen in the background to the beautiful and vocally-blessed ‘nanny Hui’, Maggie Tiahuia "Hui" Kahu. May she rest in peace and may the Patea Club’s music and legacy live on in NZ internationally. A British Cypriot fan from London, UK 💛

[@v8holdenkingswood]

Chur our old people look really happy and its good to see a smile on their faces shows their wairua is strong.

[@ababol61]

I’m Maori and recently my nan just died. So I’m trying to learn this because that’s what she’s want.

[@Damienggj]

Did you learn it yet? Do it for your nan

[@albertwaenga2528]

Dude, You must be a maori girl, to be listening this old tune. Even if you are white on the outside with red hair. It's how you feel on the inside that matters. Maori or not!

[@patriciasoto3797]

Im Ngati Porou and I grew up with this song in the 80s but never knew all the words now I can learn them finally and sing along properly and respectfully instead of humming most of it

[@awesomeone6476]

You can do it! My condolences to you. ❤️

[@haimonawhanau5976]

Love this Roopu

[@Dave183]

[@katrinabee9846]

Love the Kuia right at the front with a big smile on her face :)

[@taim2172]

Indeed impressive that they still can perform and enjoying themselves tremendously. Alot of those Kuia would be the original Patea Maori Club members and sadly some are no longer on this earth.

[@donkinzett3961]

Those old girls are realy good

[@jaminesonymorgan8428]

[@TheMeh2011]

I havent yet come across the Patea Maori Club singing without the original played.

[@lornawilliams238]

Beautiful .. although I do not know what they are singing , it sounds beautifully powerful. magnificent ... no words to describe the wonderful singing ...

[@aztaar]

These are TBD English words of this beautiful song. I have the Te Reo Maori words of this song too. Take flight my sweet young fledgling to distant shores, which will challenge you and should you ever doubt yourself, look deep inside and dance with the joy of a fantail - bobbing and weaving, shaking and swaying, spinning and twirling, moving and grooving. Moon walking to the heavens, fanning out your tail to the world. My one and only sweet precious child. Chorus Stay close to me, never lose your identity, embrace your culture, it will see you through. Let it always be our love (aroha) for each other, which binds us together, my sweet child.

[@feherbear]
