New Waiata - Tenei Matou

Words to our new Waiata Tenei Matou

Waiata a ringa o whakatoi Tenei matou e tu atu nei ki te whakangahau i te ope nei e - te iwi - aue, aue - Puritia ra to mana Maori e He tohutohu i roto tenei wa. Ahakoa matou kua riro nei ko te mana me te wehi kia mau e. No reira e hoa ma, te wahine pai e kori atu nei. - aue, e hine ma, tukutuku tukua - o taha e rua no reira kia mau e. (repeat the last section)

A cheeky action song We stand here to entertain with this performance - all of you - indeed, indeed - so that your Maori pride may be maintained by the message it contains. Nevertheless we have taken pride and awe in bringing this. And so my good friends see this good woman dancing here. Indeed, oh girls, she's like a tukutuku weaver, weaving and binding our culture together.
