AUĒ TE AROHA Lyric Video

Auē te aroha i ahau,
Auē e te iwi e,
E te iwi Māori puritia kia mau,
Utaina ki runga i Te Waka-o-te-ora,
Ka hoe ai ki te tauranga
Ko te kupu a te Kaiwhakaora,
A Hehu tino aroha,
Wetewetekia atu ngā ururua
E te hunga e mamae ana
Ka aru mai ai i ahau
E te iwi whakarongo ake rā,
Ki te reo e karanga mai nei,
Whāia kia mau te kotahitanga,
He mea paihere nā te rangimārie,
Kia mau ai te Rongopai
"This waiata came through Moe Ruka and gained fame after it was debuted outside of the Māramatanga by Maungārongo Junior Action Song team at Pukekaraka, Ōtaki in 1946." - From 'Ngā Waiata o te Māramatanga a Te Māreikura Hori Enoka', written by Che Wilson.
