The girls doing the poi
Are so stunning they just make me cry
Obviously this is a song from another culture and this group just did New Zealand proud

“KA HURA"
Ngā Kupu Waiata (Lyrics)
Wahiawa (Chant x2)
Toea te waka iu mai te moana
E eke pānuku e eke Tangaroa
E kura wawawawai
E kura wawawawai
[Mihi Karakia]
Ka hura tangata uta te tiaki ki tangata tai
ka hura tangata tai te tiaki ki tangata uta
Tenei ra te korepe nui te korepe roa te wahiawa te totoe awa
whakamoe ko Tū ko Rongo ko te awa me ko wai
Kauraka Tama e puritia
tukuna atu a Tama kia puta ki waho i te tāwhangawhanga
he putanga ariki nō Rongo i te atatauira
Mai e te taketake nui o Kahukura
he moana i rokia!
[Waiata]
Ka hura i uta ka hura i tai e
Te korepe nui te korepe roa te wahiawa
Nau mai e Tāne ka haere tāua
i te moana nui i te moana roa ki Aotearoa
Hurunuku ātea Parawera nui e
Tahu-mawake, tahu-mākaka nui e
He tia he tia he ranga he ranga
he kura wawawawai he kura wawawawai taku waka
hoea Te Moananui a Kiwa ki uta rawa ra
Tāne i runga Tangaroa i raro
uea te waka runaia te waka he mōwai rokiroki
Aio i runga he aio ukiuki
Ka whiti te marama tīramarama ana te ika i te rangi
Puanga, Autahi e
Tautoru, Rehua, Kōpu, Matariki e
He tia he tia he ranga he ranga
He kura wawawawai he kura wawawawai taku waka
hoea Te Moananui a Kiwa ki uta rawa ra
Hoea te moana nui te waka tipua
Tauira mai tawhiti
Tauira mai tawhiti e
