Matariki Waiata
If you would like to sing along to our Matariki Waiata - here are the words to practice at home.
Matariki mai to aroha
Matariki mai to aroha
Piata mai i te pō
Matariki piata-ata
Matariki piata-ata
Ki runga ki a mātou e
Tō aroha, karere ki te ao
Puritia-hi kia mau
Matariki he taonga
Matariki piata-ata
Ki runga ki a mātou e
Horahia koe ki te whenua
Hei-Maramantanga mo te mo tu
Matariki he taonga
Matariki piata-ata
Ki runga ki a mātou e
Matariki mai to aroooooohaaaaaaa.
All the love of Matariki shines down on us.
Shines down on all of us.
Your love is all over the country which we will hold onto.
Shines down on all of us.
You shine all over the land,
So that the country will get the understanding of Matariki.
