    Lyrics
    Te ararau o Tangaroa
    E rere ki te papaurunui
    (x3)
    Tahora nui ātea
    Te manawa o te moana
    Te mauri o Tangaroa
    Tangaroa whakamautai
    Tangaroa whakamautai
    Tūtara Kauika
    He poutiriao
    Te wai o Tangaroa
    Te wai o Tangaroa
    Te tangi a te tohorā
    He tohu nō aituā
    Te mau a Tangaroa
    Te mau a Tangaroa
    He kaitiaki
    He taonga
    He tipua
    He ariki
    He taniwha
    He tipua
    He kaitiaki
    He taonga
    He tipua
    Tangaroa whakamautai
    Nā Maisey Rika i whakapākehātia.
    English translation by Maisey Rika
    The various waterways of Tangaroa
    Flow back into its voluminous source
    (x3)
    The vast expanse
    The heart of the ocean
    The life-force of Tangaroa
    Tangaroa commander of the tides
    A pod of whales (or in reference to Tūtara Kauika the historical whale guardian ancestor)
    A supernatural phenomenon
    Evolving from the waters of Tangaroa
    The waters of Tangaroa
    The cry of the whale
    Signals a warning
    The power of Tangaroa
    The power of Tangaroa
    Tangaroa commander of the tides
    A guardian
    A precious treasure
    A strange / supernatural being
    A god
    Of the ancient prehistoric realm
    A guardian
    A precious treasure
    A strange / supernatural being
    Tangaroa commander of the tides.

    I'm from the United States, but I listen to music around the world, and this has to be one of my favorite songs I've ever heard. I've always had interest in cultures and languages that are not my own, especially Native American, Maori, and Hawaiian. There's just something about them that makes me feel at home.

      Meant with all respect and in no way intending to deny the genocide, colonization, and racism indigenous people have faced but music like this reminds me that we are all indigenous to this planet. Animism, shamanism, and earth-based spiritual practice is our birth right. We are one.

We were and still call ourselves by our IWI. I think, if I was to give an analogy or, an explanation on what the word Maori means, to me would be a way of life, a way of living with all life, which has been taught to us by our Tupuna or Tipuna (ancestors) all things spiritual and physical, expected of us by our Gods, IWI and family. Maori a way of living. 🤔🙄😏✌

      @Jacky Phantom what are you on about? Our ancestors came from Formosa/Taiwan to Papua New Guinea thousands of years ago (5000). Taiwanese natives are not east Asian looking either they are very dark skinned, kinda like (gasp) black people. And guess what, Papuans are black. Take that anti black racist line somewhere else please. Maori have always had dark skin, doesn't matter how mixed we are as well you are Maori and skin colour or phenotype does not negate that. My great grandparents were full blooded Maori and guess what, their skin was black, their hair was thick. Keep that blood quantum BS too because we see through that as well, it's just another way for colonisers to undermine our rights to ancestral lands and taonga. And if you knew anything about human migration or evolution, you'd realise that there is no such thing as a pure race.

    My Dad created some multimedia shows for Air New Zealand to promote tourism from the USA, way back in the late 70s; he spent a lot of time doing photography in NZ and eventually brought the whole family over to visit. He loved New Zealand, as well as Fiji, Tahiti, and Hawai'i, all places where he spent a lot of time. He recently passed away; but before he did, I spent time in hospice with him and played this hauntingly gorgeous song for him; it had a powerful impact on him, keeping him calm and steady in his last bit of time on this earth. I love this song as well (and video), but especially because it reminds me of my dad now.; can't stop playing it.

      Never dead! But I understand what you mean, as a Maori every little bit of our culture that is shared is precious to us. It's certainly not thriving and only some parts of the country can you witness it. Our language is spoken by so few now and I fear for the future of it, for our identity but it's not over. Be what you want to see, every single person helps.

    Mexican born from immigrants who came from Mexico, I now very little about your people and culture. However I do know that I'm not going to let the American whites wash away my pride in my Aztec heritage because my parents instilled the core values into every part of my existential makeup. I'm always keen to learning new things about you beautiful people and everything else about what it means to be a proud person of color and culture that is indigenous. Sending greetings from Indiana in the United States.

    Of all languages, it's Maori that intrigues me the most!
    I'm glad my Maori ancestors fought for keeping their rights, to speak Maori where and whenever they want, contrary to what my Pakeha ancestors wanted.

    i was at the manurewa fleamarket last sunday and this song drifted over the whole market and drew me to its source , a guy selling CDs i said what the ??? who the ??? how the ??? and he said its Maise Rika i had to buy the CD and its a morning ritual in my Van i now sing its chorus and reference the lyrics on the inlay CD cover absolutely amazing , Moana the movie certainly missed the opportunity but hey wasnt meant to be . fakaue lahi mahaki e leo haau ma Maisey.

    I listened to this so so so so many times so far. Discovered it 2017, few months after I was back from my 14 months travel journey through Australia, Fiji and Tongatapu. What a journey. I become so emotional when I listen to this song and feel such a deep connection with your language Te mau a Tangaroa Te mau a Tangaroa. Your language is so beautiful. 🥰😍🥰I hope I visit one day Tangaroa and learn about your culture. Cheers from Croatia

    This young lady is so talented. She radiates beauty in her music, in her presentation, in voice, in her songs. She is amazing and I am so proud that she followed her dreams and promotes music that is food for all our souls. I am so proud of this young wahine that she is a great role model for our children to look up to. We need more Maisey Rika so come on out rangatahi and share yourselves with the world just like this Maori princess Maisey is doing. Believe it or not I'm sure Maisey wasn't always so confident as she is today. She too had to start somewhere but there is no time to waste feeling shy, not if you love doing whatever it is that makes you happy. It saddens me that so many of our young ones are hiding under their hoodies when I know darn well that they want to sing and dance their hearts out. For far too long we have believed what the keha was saying to us, but those days are over now. They no longer have that power over us to taunt & shame us into the shadows. Only we are able to keep us from achieving our goals or to motivate ourselves forward. Be a success just by doing whatever it is you love to do. Maisey is the finest example of what I am trying to say. You are so talented Maisey. You're also beautiful inside and out. Someone who writes and sings the kind of music that you do obviously is a woman of substance. I love your work. I'm proud of you too, for my grand daughters sake and all our little gems that are just learning about the world. Thank you for everything Maisey.

You are a light for so many. Thank you much aroha to you and yours
