Pohara Marae Community Song

As we continued traveling along the north island, we stayed at Pohara Marae. During one of our nights, we engaged in a cultural exchange with the local community and had a great time doing so. It was one our first real experiences to exchange our Native American culture with that of the Maori people.

Pohara te Marae
Te Maungatautari
Te Awa Waikato
Te Iwi Koroki
Te wehi ki te Atua
Te papa honore te Arikinui
Me te Kahui Ariki
..A hoe mai to waka!
Hoe mai to waka ki runga Pohara
Te turangawaewae mo aku tupuna
Aue.. aue te aroha
A reka hanara to puha ona kaha
Kemureti toku oko horoi
Ngaruawahia te turangawaewae
Ngaruawahia te turangawaewae
Hoki hoki tonu ahau ki nga rori o Pohara
Ki nga wahi kohatu
o aku tupuna e
o aku tupuna e
Ka mate ka mate ka ora e
Tenei te tangata pu huru e
Nana i tiki mai whakawhiti te ra
Hupane kaupane whiti te ra
Hupane kaupane whiti te ra
