- OFFICIAL VIDEO: Waiaroha (feat. Maisey Rika)
By: Rob Ruha
This waiata speaks of the changing nature in relationships between lovers. It metaphorically expresses the journey of life and love through the symbol of a fern leaf on a river. At times the leaf is at the mercy of turbulent rapids and rushing water, other times its excited by the swift currents or caressed by the deeper, calm spots in the river. All currents eventually flowing towards the sea: the symbol of boundless unity.

Verse 1
Maringi noa ngā roimata
Kahu ai te pōuri
Pokepokea mai te māramatanga
O ngā whetū
Pre-chorus
Wai ka ripo, wai ka huri te rau aruhe
Aue, pupū - hihī
Mirimiri te rau aruhe
[E] tanuku i ngā waipuke
Chorus
Wai aroha rere tōtika
Rere tika ki te moana
Waiho ngā pikotanga
Kia aio te rere, te rere
Kaua e papaki kino e wai
I ngā pari e tāwharau nei
Te aruhe taku rau taonga
Wai-aroha, wai-marino
Verse 2
Hikina te pō; haruru te ao, haruru te wai
I nga kōawa o aku mahara
Pōraruraru noa
Pre-Chorus , Chorus
Bridge
Taupatupatu, pōteretere te rau aruhe
Kati te kō e wai
I te rau e whana nei e koe
Chorus
I am a proud Pakeha New Zealander; who is so thankful the Maori; who had their heritage denied many years ago, have finally found their way back to their roots. Be proud of who you are. You are special people, I am proud to have stood beside many of you all my life. Aroha. Kia Kaha.
Such a lovely comment. I see too many ridiculing posts on social media against us and this warms my heart. Understanding goes a long way.

A Scotsman living in and blessed to be on your land YES YOUR LAND. 3 beautiful kids thank you. Arohanui and respect always x
Always keep your songs for your people. Don't Disney or any other commercial company use them. Too precious!
Wai aroha rere tōtika
Rere tika ki te moana
Waiho ngā pikotanga
Kia aio te rere, te rere!!
Love this Waiata 😍☺️😍💗💞
This song always hits hard for me. Lost the love of my life 5 years ago. He was Maori and I always loved hearing of his mother's culture as our relationship flourished. I miss him so much. The tears never stop while this plays, but I suppose it helps a bit. Still feels as it was yesterday that he left us.
Ka nui taku aroha ki a koe. ❤ "Me tangi, kāpā ko te mate i te marama." Jan 03 1989 - May 30 2019 🥺
Arohanui,it is "good,healthy"to tangi.You are a strong,loving woman,which will help you. Also music,that connects within us. Kia kaha 🥰
Absolutely beautiful. My son is Maori, and we loved this song
We are so proud of our Mentors, Rob Ruha and Maisey Rika. Beautiful. ^Angel
I don't understand a damn word they are saying but I feel the love, passion and soul of this song and it makes me cry. I hope others feel the same.

this iz New Zealand Maori language the best the humbleness and in all from the four corners of the world the gifted people of Aotearoa....xoxo thank you our whanau Maisey and Rob...
Don't feel bad - I speak Te Reo fluent and the metaphors of this waiata are so deep I'm struggling!
Imagine if Shakespeare was singing - if you get my drift.
Maori underworld...
music isnt about what they say, its what they say that makes you feel a kind of way. aroha nui
My boyfriend and I used to sing this song for our twin girls when they were in my womb and everytime we would sing this song together, everyone would gather around us and sing with us. Thank you for the beautiful waiata Rob and Maisey💖

It's such a beautiful song, I'm listening to it in the evening before go to sleep while I'm working on the photo album from our NZ trip in 2018! I'll never forget...
I love this song...just amazing. I listen to it a lot and have almost memorized the lyrics. My te-reo is almost as good as my Samoan at times when singing :-) embracing diversity and loving it. Thanks Rob Ruha and Maisey Rika - also love the poi dance and sand art. Just beautiful :-)

Tino ataahua te waiata. I first heard this waiata at my nephews wedding and i thought what a beautiful waiata. Not quite understanding the kupu but definitely felt the aroha, passion, soul and wairua. Bought tears to my eyes with feelings of gratefulness, thankfulness and humility. This will be my song to walk down the aisle on my wedding day on the 30th January 2021. Nei ra te Mihi Rob and Maisey for such a beautiful waiata.
This just took my wairua to a whole other place thank you. I am on my whakapapa and reconnecting journey and this waiata just soothed the waters the flow within me. I AM MAORI.. I am enough.. I am a strong wahine ma dedicated to my tīpuna Kamariera Te hau Takiri Wharepapa this waiata is everything he needed me to embrace and calm my mind to connect 🤍 absolutely beautiful and deeply sung with Te Ao Maori anchoring its deeps of aroha 💯🌿🤍 blessed thank you so much 🤍

Indeed a Beautiful song, thank you for sharing it. I have a question, Does anyone know the name of the sand artist? The last art of a women and man in the middle of a heart is very close to the art I did years ago in Gisborne. When I saw it again through this artist I was moved to tears. Was sooo wonderful to see. Thank you
