[@santanacee]

Tangi a te ruru, kei te hokihoki mai e. E whaka-whero-whero i te putahitanga. Nāku nei ra koe i tuku kia haere. Tēra puritia iho nui rawa te aroha e. Verse, sung twice Te Hokinga Mai, tēna koutou Tangi ana te ngākau i te aroha Tū tonu ra te mana te ihi o nga tupuna kua wehea atu rā Mauria mai te mauri tangata hei oranga mo te mōrehu tangi mōkai nei E rapu ana i te ara tika mo tātou katoa. Te Hokinga Mai, Te Hokinga Mai Tū tangata tonu!

thank you folks for all comments greatly appreciated so keep them rolling in :)

[@mjm2903uk]

If I was A Kiwi.....I'd have this as the NZ anthem.

[@iri3977]

A warm greeting Michael, thank you for your kind words. Name of waiata (song) is "Te Hokinga Mai" composed by Te Tāite Cooper & Father Ma Mariu 1986. Here is the English transliteration : The cry of the morepork keeps coming back to me It is hooting out there where the paths meet I was the one who allowed you to go It was curbed, my deep love for you But now the formal return home, Greetings to you How my heart weeps for joy Still standing tall is the prestige and the enchantment of the ancestors who have passed on Bring back the true spirit of the people to help heal the survivor crying like a slave (to mean, with loneliness) And searching for the true path for us all. Hope this helps - the Māori language is very poetic, Enjoy

[@iri3977]

Oops... Correction : Father Max Mariu

[@shannontengaru5499]

[@mrsreign626]

Anthonie Hendrie - Its pretty Deep - It was writen for the Return of our Ancestors Heads an various other "Taonga" returned to Us NZ from oversea museums and private collections...It talks of those that weep to find Strength Courage Love from our Ancestors to not stumble & walk in the dark....Beautiful Words thats probably why if you always cry and feel over whelmed and full of Love and emotion with song.

[@iri3977]
