(5 cards)
Stand like the white pine
To brave the storms
Embrace and receive
We are one together
[encourages us to stand together]
E tū Kahikatea
Hei Whakapae ururoa
Awhi mai, awhi atu
Tātou, tātou e
Maybe it will be me
Maybe it will be me
Me, who will guide you
To the pathway, the pathway of growth
(Yes) I will guide you
[used in early childcare]
Māku rā pea
Māku rā pea
Māku koe e awhi e
Ki te ara, ara tupu,
Māku koe e awhi e
Who will tend to
the marae now?
Let it be truth
Let it be honesty
Let it be love
[challenging those in attendance to uphold and maintain these guiding principles]
Mā wai rā e taurima
te marae i waho nei?
Mā te tika
Mā te pono
Me te aroha e
To all from the different tribes, welcome, welcome
Welcome, we welcome you
To the different tribes, we welcome you
To come into our home
As we all gather here today
Men and women
In support of Mana Māori
To be upheld and sustained
Yes, indeed!
To all from the different tribes, welcome, welcome
[song of welcome]
E ngā iwi e, haere mai, haere mai
Haere mai, haere mai
E ngā iwi e, haere mai
Ki runga o te marae
Hui mai, tātou katoa
E hine mā, e tama mā
Hāpaingia o Te Mana Māori e
Kia rewa runga rawa
Ia ha ha!
E ngā iwi e, haere mai, haere mai!
Our greetings, and welcome to you all
All aboard the canoes
the canoes of the country
Pull the canoes shorewards
to the place where they will lie
Swing your paddles down, swing them
Swing your paddles skywards, swing them
Greetings, greetings to you all
[chant of welcome]
Tēnā rā koutou katoa
Utaina mai ngā waka
Ngā waka o te motu
Tōia mai rā ki uta
Ki te takotoranga
Hiki nuku, hiki e
Hiki runga rangi e
Tēnā, tēnā rā koutou katoa
[haka pōhiri]
