I have a brother named Te Whiti. We were both named after the 2 prophets. This song brings me so much joy. The untold story of parihaka should be taught in all schools through Aotearoa
Pak'n'save Botany Downs Auckland PLaying this on the playlist ..and being 1/4 Maori im singing it loud haha, can't wait for nz music month and Maori language week , love the vibes love the spirit , kia kaha all.
Am far away from home and listening to the most special and meaningful music that connects me with our beautiful land. Nothing is more special and meaningful than Parihaka
This song brings back so many good memories way back when I was a young boy and just the other night a kiwi lady at the pub chose this song on the jukebox and I say you got great taste of music Lady
After some editing yes this song would be a good national anthem. I say editing would be a good idea because one part it says it says pee on the cannon and that's not really official and isn't meaningful
My friend, My friend, I hate to see you suffer, Events conspire to bring us to our knees, My friend, my friend, you've taken this the wrong way, Rise up, defend yourself, never give in, Look to the sky, the spirit of Te Whiti, The endless tide is murmuring his name. I know Te Whiti will never be defeated, And even at the darkest hour, His presence will remain. I'll sing to you the song of Parihaka. Te Whiti he used the language of the spirit, Then stood accused, the madman and his dream, He saw the train go roaring through the tunnel, He heard the voice travel on the magic wire, But he loved the silence of the river, He watched the dog piss on the cannon's wheel. I know Te Whiti will never be defeated, And even at the darkest hour, His presence will remain. I'll sing to you the song of Parihaka. One day you'll know the truth, They can't pull out the roots, Come and take me home, To weep for my lost brother. They gather still, the clouds of Taranaki, His children's children wearing the white plume, So take me for the sins of these sad islands, The wave still breaks on the rock of Rouhotu. And when you taste the salt that's on your pudding, And when you taste the sugar in your soup, Think of Te Whiti, he'll never be defeated, Even at the darkest hour, His presence will remain, I'll sing for you the song of Parihaka, Come to Parihaka, Weep for my lost brother, The spirit of nonviolence, Has come to fill the silence, Come to Parihaka.
I love this song it relates so well. The story of Parihaka is so sad and even though I may be more British than Māori I still believe the chiefs should not have signed.
The system created labyrinth be not impossible but possible. Sovereign no sign no contractor, nor enter into a world of debt deceit lies torture and abomination and many more. We all have our own corporation own businuss debt n credit, "where theres knowledge, thee shall walk in such a way".
correct lyrics: the song is about about Tohu Kākahi and Te Whiti o Rongomai. Your version excludes Tohu. My friend, my friend I hate to see you suffer Events conspire to bring us to our knees My friend, my friend You've taken this the wrong way Rise up, defend yourself, never give in Look to the sky the spirit of Te Whiti The endless tide is murmuring his name Tohu, Te Whiti will never be defeated And even at the darkest hour Their presence will remain I'll sing for you a song of Parihaka Te Whiti, he used the language of the spirit Then stood accused a madman and his dream They saw the train go roaring through the tunnel They heard the voice travel on the magic wire But they loved the silence of the river They dreamed a dog p$?&ed on the cannon's wheel Tohu, Te Whiti will never be defeated Not even at the darkest hour Their presence will remain I'll sing for you a song of Parihaka One day you'll know the truth They can't pull out the roots Come and take me home To weep for my lost brothers They gather still the clouds of Taranaki His children's children wearing the white plume So take me for the sins of these sad islands The wave still breaks on the rock of Rahotu And when you taste the pepper on your pudding And when you taste the sugar in your soup Tohu, Te Whiti, they'll never be defeated Even at the darkest hour Their presence will remain I'll sing for you the song of Parihaka Come to Parihaka Weep for my lost brothers The spirit of nonviolence Has come to fill the silence Come to Parihaka
ka pai herbs love this song cause i like the story of this song lucky theres a little bit of parihaka left te whiti i sing to you the song of PARIHAKA blaaahhh
Te Whiti announced Māri were dropped off in Aotearoa by the Patriot Abraham. Te Whiti makes a great point. Sarah ,Abraham's wife her Father was a MĀRI KING. frm antiquity. Be blessed friends. 🤙

Te whiti isn't a prophet but Ruaumoko mate. And very real
2021 and I can never get tired of listening to old skool jams.
Even on these days Parihaka..does he walk among us as a spirit of peaceful resolve.. bless up
2025 still listening to this song.
I get teary-eyed when I hear this song
TOHU Te WHITI WILL never be DEFEATED ❤❤❤
Went into labour with my first child at Parihaka peace festival 2009. Amazing place with the greatest vibe 💛
This great song came out in the 80s, but it wasn't until 2017 that the crown eventually apologised and made amends for what they did.
long live Parihaka and this song awesome Tim Finn and herbs keeping it real Kiaora..😊
Long live my friend Carl Perkins
Shot bo. Thought it was Tim
I grew up with these sorts of songs so hearing it again is nostalgic. Only learned what herbs are singing about because of my social sciences class.
This song fills me with such sadness and sorrow. Ka maumahara tonu tatou. Nei te mihi e Herbs ratou ko nga taitama e Finn! 🖤✌
My great great nan was taken from here as a child during the land wars

2020 still jamming

I love the herbs great songs plus friends of the Uri family . Lots of love forever. Peace to the world
I think you should check the chorus words - 'Tohu, Te Whiti - they'll never be defeated'. Important to honour both leaders.
warm and fuzzy from the herbs
This song always make my crying!! So damn goood....
I´m living in Sweden...
Tohu, Te Whiti!
yea this is home naki on the map
“Te Whiti he used the language of the Spirit” 💙🙏

LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH
My friend, My friend, I hate to see you suffer,
Events conspire to bring us to our knees,
My friend, my friend, you've taken this the wrong way,
Rise up, defend yourself, never give in,
Look to the sky, the spirit of Te Whiti,
The endless tide is murmuring his name.
I know Te Whiti will never be defeated,
And even at the darkest hour,
His presence will remain.
I'll sing to you the song of Parihaka.
Te Whiti he used the language of the spirit,
Then stood accused, the madman and his dream,
He saw the train go roaring through the tunnel,
He heard the voice travel on the magic wire,
But he loved the silence of the river,
He watched the dog piss on the cannon's wheel.
I know Te Whiti will never be defeated,
And even at the darkest hour,
His presence will remain.
I'll sing to you the song of Parihaka.
One day you'll know the truth,
They can't pull out the roots,
Come and take me home,
To weep for my lost brother.
They gather still, the clouds of Taranaki,
His children's children wearing the white plume,
So take me for the sins of these sad islands,
The wave still breaks on the rock of Rouhotu.
And when you taste the salt that's on your pudding,
And when you taste the sugar in your soup,
Think of Te Whiti, he'll never be defeated,
Even at the darkest hour,
His presence will remain,
I'll sing for you the song of Parihaka,
Come to Parihaka,
Weep for my lost brother,
The spirit of nonviolence,
Has come to fill the silence,
Come to Parihaka.

My reliever teacher friend made this song with his friend. I think he’s like 60 or 70 now. This is about 4-5 years ago
Parihaka is actually in pungarehu, before Rahotu, that's my hometown
2021, still blasting this, remembering Parihaka today 🌈🌿✨ ngā mōrehu
i had to listen to this song for history and i just cant stop listening to it its so amazing and its all true
Lmao same. Im a New Zealander and have never heard of this event but yea, Songs fucking great
Living legends , real kiwi music
I love this song it relates so well. The story of Parihaka is so sad and even though I may be more British than Māori I still believe the chiefs should not have signed.

This song gives me goosebumps taranaki hardcore jah jah whanau

Tohu, Te Whiti will never be defeated

They saw the train go roaring through the tunnel

And when you taste the pepper on your pudding
And when you taste the sugar in your soup

Even at the darkest hour
Their presence will remain
I'll sing for you the song of Parihaka
Come to Parihaka
Weep for my lost brothers
The spirit of nonviolence
Has come to fill the silence
Come to Parihaka
One minor correction:
"And when you taste the pepper on your pudding,
_Think_ when you taste the sugar in your soup."
Sure, it was a hit, but I'm always surprised it wasn't a mega number 1, like it should have been.
