Inspired Waiata - Nonoke Te Nekeneke
Nonoke te nekeneke,
A te kōhungahunga,
Pore-pore, takawiri e….
Ki runga kiri-kiri
E taku māriri,
Huri-huri kau noa e,
Nō reira, e te iwi,
Whakarongo pīkari
Ki te kupu taurangi e,
A Ngā Kōhungahunga
Manawanui
Arohaina ngā mokopuna e
Manaaki e te iwi
Tēnei te mihi atu
Kati rā e te iwi e
Kati rā e te iwi e
Nā Ngairo Eruera i tito Nā Josie brown i whakarite i ngā chords

Pāpaki Tū Ana
Pāpaki tū ana
ngā tai ki Mauao
I nekenekehia
I nukunukuhia
I whiua reretia
E Hotu
A wahine rua ki te wai
Ki tai wīwī, ki tai wāwā
Ki te whai ao, ki te ao mārama
Tīhei mauriora x2

E Hika Tū Ake
E hika tū ake
Ki runga rā whitiki taua
Hei tama tū
Kumea ki te uru
Umea ki te tonga
Hiki nuku Hiki rangi i arā rā
Ka ngaru e, ngaru e
Toia ki te hau marangai
Kia whakarongo e taku kiri i
Te ki kini a te rehutai
O Ngā ngaru whatiwhati
E haruru mai nei
Wī,wī,wī
Wā,wā,wā
Horahia ō mata ki a Mere
Tūahiahi Hei taki I te ara ki a Tangaroa
He atua hāo I te tini ki te pō
E kokoia e ara e.

Hutia Te Rito
Hutia te rito o te harakeke
Kei hea te komako e kō?
Kii mai ki ahau.
He aha te mea nui
Te mea nui o tēnei ao?
Māku e kii atu kia koe
He tangata, he tangata.

Tūtira mai ngā iwi
Tūtira mai nga iwi
Tātou tātou e
Tūtira mai ngā iwi
Tātou tātou e
Whai-a te marama-tanga me te aroha - e ngā iwi!
Ki-a ko tapa-tahi,
Ki-a kotahi rā.
Tātou tātou e.
Tā - tou, tā - tou E!! Hi aue hei!
