When people talk of a beautiful production, this has to be one of them! The vocals are insane, the instruments so on point. Everytime I listen to this song, I enter another world altogether.
Didn't understand a word said but felt it and had chills throughout 🥺 .. All the way from South Africa 🇿🇦 ❤️
Thank you! We love and respect the people of South Africa 🇿🇦 in Aotearoa 🇳🇿
Also in South Africa, looked up the lyrics, powerful. Song on repeat. Thank you for the beautiful music!
Can't even describe how this stirs my soul. I play it on repeat some days, it's a journey every time.
I can only say this was amazing. Having lived in NZ for 30 years and not at all being fluent I took a moment to listen to this performance as I would have listen to another language and was swept away, just taken. Thank you
I came here after I saw a reaction video to this performance. All so I can comment on here and tell you how beautiful your voice and this performance were. Love all they from Oregon USA. ❤
Can't understand a word but I felt that...
Powerful
I felt his spirit and the wairua of the song and whenua of Aotearoa, in my mind, soul, body and spirit. It reduces me to tears as Maori waiata and culture always does and has done in the past, present and will always do in the future and reminds me of my time of 38 years in this beautiful country and why I chose to come here, over other nations of choice. God bless him and the performers in this amazing, powerful, production that is definitely making a bold statement and a goosebumps like presence!!!
❤
Absolutely captivating. I've never heard kapa haka vocals in an orchestral context like this before and it is every bit as powerful as you'd expect - by the end I felt like my blood was on fire, and I think if I were in that crowd I would have been in tears. Looking up the lyrics of the song, I understand why.
I love seeing fellow Islanders using their craft so beautifully, and boldly occupying these spaces with the full dignity of our people. This is my first time hearing TEEKS, and this powerful song by Ria. As a Samoan creative myself, I am feeling both incredibly humbled and so inspired. Thank you all for this incredible experience!
His voice touches my soul! Love this guy. He is highly underrated!
Lyrics - English meaning
He aha rā te ao e hora nei
Ka kore noa ahau i a koe
Nā te aha rā koe i moumou atu ai
Ko te kura
Ko te kura koti whero
He onekura toto te whakangarotanga
Ki te riu o te whenua
I tau ai taku mauri
I tau ai taku ngākau
Ka rongo ahau i te aroha
Ka kite ahau i te ahi kai pō
Taukapo mai taku hinātore
Taukapo mai i te pōkerekere
I te pōuriuri
Taku hinātore
I tau ai taku mauri
I tau ai taku ngākau
Ka rongo ahau i te aroha
Ka kite ahau i te ahi kai pō
Ka hika taku ahi
Ki a koe rā kautetetū
Ka hika taku ahi
He ahi kā
E mahana i taku kiri māeke
He ahi i tāmō
He ahi e kore e mātao
What is this world that I face?
I would be nothing without you
Why was your life wasted in this battle?
The sea of red coats
The land stained with blood
Lost you are to the pits of the earth
My peace is found
My heart is still
I feel your presence
As the fire burns away the darkness
Shine my beacon
Shine through the despair
Shine through the darkest of nights
My beacon
My peace is found
My heart is still
I feel your presence
As the fire burns away the darkness
My fire is sparked
By Kautetetū
My fire is sparked
Its heat is intense
My cold skin will be warmed
My quivering body will be warmed
An enduring fire
A fire that will never be extinguished
No words... just overwhelmed with wairua and aroha and pride
This was crazy powerful live, the energy in the room was electric ⚡️
The energy has come through in the youtube video as well. AMAZING :-)
So special
What a gift this young man has
Very powerful choral work
He can sing Mary had a little lamb and it will sound good I love his voice 😍
wow wow wow what a master piece, so raw so emotional...being part maori i have no idea whats being said, but felt this so deeply....
'Te Ahi Kai Pō' - a song which tries to find resolve through times of despair.
Nā te aha rā koe i moumou atu ai?
Ko te kura koti whero
He onekura toto te whakangarotanga
Ki te riu o te whenua
Why was your life wasted in this battle?
The sea of red coats
The land stained with blood
Lost you are, to the pits of the earth…"

Can someone please help with translation of the lyrics. From South Africa
Usually TEEKS songs in Te Reo Maori are on the internet. Try to google it. His other TeReo Maori songs are worth listening too. Such a great voice!
From the description of Ria Hall's video (she originally wrote this waiata (song)): "'Te Ahi Kai Pō' means 'the fire burning away the darkness' and is in reference to finding peace following the aftermath of war. The battle of Te Ranga in June of 1864 is the inspiration for this song, which was an unplanned slaughter of many Māori. This spiritless attack was in retaliation to the battle of Pukehinahina, where the British found themselves at a loss to the Māori". Hope this helps
@@SpicyT257 Thank you - also a South African. Such heart warming music 🙏🏽💕
