Te Ara - Lyrics

I nga wā ō mua, ka mate a Whakatūria
In ancient times, Whakatūria was killed
Ka timata te ara o Ngāti Ohomairangi ki te Ika a Māui
And so began the voyage of Ngāti Ohomairangi to the Great Fish of Māui
(the North Island of New Zealand)

* * * * *

A ha Te Arawa ē!
Heark, people of Te Arawa waka!
A ha Te Arawa ē!
Heark, people of Te Arawa waka!
Ko te whakaariki … ko te whakaariki!
'Tis the invading army
Tukua mai ki a piri, tukua mai ki a tata
Let it come near, let it come close
Kia eke mai i runga ki te paepae poto a Houmaitawhiti!
Let it reach the very threshold of Houmaitawhiti!

Note: The haka at the end of this track is an ancient composition by Ngati Ohomairangi to celebrate their safe arrival in the waka (canoe) Te Arawa to the shores of Aotearoa (New Zealand).
