Te Pikikotuku

[@user-qt6fj7pw4p]

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]

[@o900junior]

You can feel the pride in their voices…that’s what makes this song so special…

[@felisefalanai7953]

I got mad goosebumps watching this, but was even more buzzy knowing i can recognize that astro turf and shelter anywhere, Kaitao Middle School the old stomping grounds 😂. Just only wish i had witnessed this masterpiece in person as i only live down the road 😭 Proud to be Maori

[@Mokochino08]

My partner is from Te Arawa and I fall in love with him more each time I hear this song.

[@Lilboweeblet]

[@taeto828]

I just had my son 5 days ago. His father had liked the name Te Ata Māhina since the beginning of my pregnancy with him as this is one of his favour waiatas. The night of his birth there was a full moon and time of birth so close to the dawn. We named him Te Ata Māhina x

[@kassiephraim6475]

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.

[@hani1671]
