Hi Maori Brothers & Sisters, This song I heard it for the first time in 1987, when I met a Maori Brother in the Sinai dessert working for a Peace Keeping Force MFO. His name is Mike Taankink. My roots is from the Moluccan Islands of Indonesia. My culture is very simular as the Maori culture, that's why Mike & I get along well together. Mike infected me with the Maori Culture. Since then until now, I always listen to Maori songs, if it is gospel, modern, as long my hearts is enjoying the song. I wish al my Maori Brothers & Sisters God Blessings.
Thank you I play this many many nights, and whilst I am pakeha, it keeps me close to my beautiful old Maori friend Tama, who suffered a massive stroke half a decade ago and cannot sing no longer, he taught me all these beautiful Maori songs, nothing in the world as strong and loving as the Maori voice giving te aroha.. Kiora... Peter
Merci tellement pour le MANA Mais je suis tellement heureuse du cadeau c'est indescriptible tellement je suis chanceuse Merci Papy ❤Mam Merci ZEUS Merci vraiment mon Dieu 🌟🔥🌟😇🥲🥰😍🤩🥳
Watching the blood moon luna eclipse alone in chch with this on repeat...I don't know why...I jst am...I feel my ancestor's with me and my heart aches...sending love and light to all
When I first heard this song I had no idea what was being said but the melody & the voices were so soothing. It sounded sacred...like a prayer. I stopped what I was doing & felt like praising God through this song. I felt humbled in the greatness of God`s creation & thankful that I am part of it. THEN, I read what the song was about. The haunting melody suits the lyrics perfectly.
this is the first time i've heard this song and It touches my soul. I can't stop the tears listening to the sweet harmony. I don't understand the lyrics but this must be how angels sound in heaven. I am of samoan ancestry yet all of polynesia are my people. Polynesians (not to sound bias) are God's chosen people.
I use to hear the Ruru crying every night out my window, it wasn't far from our whare. It brought beautiful dreams to a little Maori boy those days long gone now. I missed that Ruru. Never today the Ruru cries.
I worked in the middle east for 2 years and that can be a lonely place for a kiwi boy, but it was the beautiful maori songs like this that got me thru my mahi and eventually brought me home last year...you may not know it but you are providing much strength for home sick kiwi's off shore....thank you so much for posting.
i can remember this song from long ago as an old seaman who went to NZ many times i made many friends among the maori people i shed a tear or two having this song sang to me i wish i was back there now steve
Janice Aldridge if u say so.. we are losing our language is what I mean and a lot of Maori do not practice our traditions hence why our youth today have no respect and play up.. Some of us teach our kids but so many more don't, its hard for us when we living in a white mans world..
This song allows the rest of Terra to feel and understand the culture of one of the lovleist peoples on this planet of ours - I love every sound that comes through their music and songs..............
Beautiful Waiata frm our whanau frm Aotearoa, Land of the long white cloud, New Zealand, Kia Ora Whanau Ataahua Waiata, Frm My whanau and I , West Auckland, NZ.
My Granddaughter is seven and now lives in New Zealand, she is taking Maori singing and dancing lessons, each time I listen to this beautiful piece of music, I can picture this very happy girl. Thanking for sharing this.
Do not understand one single word. Love the music of the Maori people and the movements in their dance. Thank you for touching us with your magical music.
Thanks for posting this song. Maori music touches my heart and soul, as does all Polynesian/Pacific music. It makes me long for my spiritually home and it reminds me of the fact that we all are brothers and sisters walking the sometimes rocky road of this world - in different colours, different ways and different places. Peace and respect from Sweden.

The children's pure voices being exalted by the harmony of the adults makes this my favourite ever version of this song. It's like they've captured the pure essence of the Maori culture. There is a lot we can learn or be reminded of from the past.
Wow, I am honored to have listened & watched this beautiful video. So much 'uhane (spirit) from the depths of the na'au (deep within). Nani loa kela mele (very beautiful that song). Me ke aloha pumehana (with warmest regards), kau hoaaloha (your friend).
It's the voices of the children singing that's makes it beautiful!!! Makes me think of Whakaki , Nuhaka. Mahia, reminds me of the special blessing that it is to be Maori. It makes me connect with every thing in our Lakes, Rivers, Sea, forest, even the horse, kuri , especially the wild boar. The tuna back home. Thank you for such a heart felt moment of singing "Te Hokinga Mai" Mauri Ora!!!!
I love all the Maori songs and would love to go New Zealand but too old now and I'm English an have been listening to these song for 6 years and never get tired of them beautiful
Kia orana Sandor, I viewed the telecast in 1986 and this song stuck with me all these years. I'm a Cook Islander and I love this song..............Kia Orana e kia manuia.
This is so beautiful, relaxed, and heartwarming. Love your culture. Never loose it, you can be proud of it. Love to you all. A man from Holland (europe) ❤️
I had to listen to this for an English assignment, and I'm glad I did. The music is very beautiful and its peaceful. I've listen to it more than 5 times. Amazing
everytime i hear this i visualize my people and the beatiful country they live in, as a tear drops, it makes me proud of who and where i belong , arohanui
Hi, I have listened to this beautiful song, Te Hokinga Mai so many times, it still fill my heart with love. In a few weeks time my daughter will be going to New Zealand with her family, in the hope to stay there for good. When I look at the photos, God has blessed this country. Me ke aloha pumehana.
i've only been to nz once, but i feel a great respect and love, somehow, for the maori culture - hearing this song and especially the karanga in the beginning actually made me cry and gave me goosebumps. nz is where my heart is. thanks for posting!!
Just found this brings back beautiful memories for me of my nanny and whanau kua mene ki te po moe mai ra moe to moe roa I te ringaringa o tatou tupuna matua I mua kia koutou ka arohanui mo ake tonu❤️😭❤️
Crying is the greatest sign of respect. The song has spoken to you, it has touched you. For what else is the purpose of song? Mauriora, much respect back to you.
Kia Ora! My whanau and i use to listen to the tape we have of the exhibition and this song would be reapeted so many times as we love it. my father sadly lost his battle to cancer and our last nite with him i got the whanau to sing this song with me as we just love it, well a couple days later at my auntys hoouse a morepork was sitting in the tree for a couple days, and there has neva been a owl in her tree the hole time she has been there, could it have been dad? too much i say!!!
wow we sang this waiata growing up...stil sing it now and then wen we get the chance to have a jam with the guitar....reunions......sadly even tangi's....beautiful waiata. kelz NZ
He tino waiata tera! E mirimiri ana ratou oku taringa. Ka taea e ahau te rongo te mauri me te aroha hoki o te roopu waiata. Waimarie tatou mo nga kupu hohonu me nga whakaaro tuturu ki roto i te waiata ra. Nga mihi nui ki te roopu.
+Sándor Tóth Bula vinaka! thanks for the translation..I understand. It makes me emotional everytime I play it...I need to visit my village soon. Vinaka vakalevu my friend, me nomu na kalou gata e vei siga.
This Waiata (Song) belongs to Our Ngati Kahungunu People ,Hawkes Bay NZ, and This is Our Whanau From A Loving, Caring Place We call HOME..Named , PAKIPAKI..and Our Whanau Kura that sing this Waiata is PAKIPAKI BI-LINGUAL TE KURA SCHOOL so HOMAI TE PAKIPAKI WHANAU
This waiata definitely makes me just wanna book a flight home :'( sooo beautiful with a calming sense I live in Australia but New Zealand will forever be my home xxx Love & miss my whanau like crazy xxx Arohamai
The children singing this song are from Pakipaki primary school in Hastings. I was only young back then in the 80's. A family friend brother is in this group....
Through these past recent six years, I had had experiences in my life that seem to say that I might had been Polynesian in a past life. Particularly at Kahoolawe (Hawaii). Although New Zealand might not actually be one of those places, I still feel some kind of welcoming connection in their songs and their language is beautiful just like Hawaiian. It's songs like this one that always has a raw beauty to it. I like that. Amazing video and thank you for sharing. ^__^

Through these past recent six years, I had had experiences in my life that seem to say that I might had been Polynesian in a past life. Particularly at Kahoolawe (Hawaii). Although New Zealand might not actually be one of those places, I still feel some kind of welcoming connection in their songs and their language is beautiful just like Hawaiian. It's songs like this one that always has a raw beauty to it. I like that.
Amazing video and thank you for sharing. ^__^
I was very happy to make you happy!!!
We sing this song at horohoro 💯I love it💯
