- i did this karaoke version of Te Hokinga Mai due to a lot of request s from people wanting to know the lyrics although i have missed a few words out and the colour changing sometimes is outta sync ..it will have to do
Ashley's Karaoke Taranaki Waitara
I sang this for my aunty when she passed. every time I listin to this song I cry coz this song reminds me of her coz it has her name in it
Heard this waiata at my Aunty Pani Tangi 23rd-26th May 2012 in PakiPaki so many times......Awesome!!! This waiata will remind me of her in the future....Love you Aunty & miss you so much.....xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Tangi a te ruru,
kei te hokihoki mai e.
E whaka-whero-whero
i te putahitanga.
Nāku nei ra koe
i tuku kia haere.
Tēra puritia iho
nui rawa te aroha e.
Verse, sung twice
Te Hokinga Mai,
tēna koutou
Tangi ana te ngākau
i te aroha
Tū tonu ra te mana
te ihi o nga tupuna
kua wehea atu rā
Mauria mai te mauri tangata
hei oranga mo te mōrehu
tangi mōkai nei
E rapu ana i te ara tika
mo tātou katoa.
Te Hokinga Mai,
Te Hokinga Mai
Tū tangata tonu!
Learnt this song atmy granddad's tangi still can't sing it without crying
This reminds me of our history, our scholars,our great leaders,our lives our whakapapa our islands, who we the Maori are and where we going to. We are moving forward, into the future.
Tēnā koe Whaea, ngā mihi aroha
Whaea Makere this reminds me of you...Te Ara Rima was lit back then!!!
Take me back to the 80's n 90's baby where I belong!!!
my aunty passed away from cancer so my mothers sister's sing this song to her i tryed not to cry and EVERYONE DO NOT SMOKE IT VERY BAD.
If I was A Kiwi.....I'd have this as the NZ anthem.
A warm greeting Michael, thank you for your kind words.
Name of waiata (song) is
"Te Hokinga Mai" composed by Te Tāite Cooper & Father Ma Mariu 1986. Here is the English transliteration :
The cry of the morepork keeps coming back to me
It is hooting out there where the paths meet
I was the one who allowed you to go
It was curbed, my deep love for you
But now the formal return home, Greetings to you How my heart weeps for joy
Still standing tall is the prestige and the enchantment of the ancestors who have passed on
Bring back the true spirit of the people to help heal the survivor crying like a slave (to mean, with loneliness) And searching for the true path for us all.
Hope this helps - the Māori language is very poetic, Enjoy
Oops... Correction : Father Max Mariu
I hear this song when I was very little and my family hear this as well
This song is my favourite song for a long time in our hearts and our minds and our thoughts
PULLS on the HEART strings when i hear this waiata, much love and proud to be Wahine Maori.

Who wrote this song
Hi Austin,
Te Hokinga Mai was composed by Te Taite Cooper & Father Ma Mariu 1986
Pol,kmjj
translate please :) hope the meaning will be nice as it rhyme :)
Anthonie Hendrie - Its pretty Deep - It was writen for the Return of our Ancestors Heads an various other "Taonga" returned to Us NZ from oversea museums and private collections...It talks of those that weep to find Strength Courage Love from our Ancestors to not stumble & walk in the dark....Beautiful Words thats probably why if you always cry and feel over whelmed and full of Love and emotion with song.
@bali exo trip...Mrs Reign explains it beautifully.
The English transliteration is written under Michael Crawford comment (at top)
Wrong lyrics
