Kia Noho pu tetahi ki tetahi E tau nei te pouri, I te mata o te whenua Ka noho korara te iwi taiohi Pirakorako mai nga whetu  te whanau marama Kia tohutohu ai he wanohonga piritahi.

E rere wairua, e rere Ki nga ao o te rangi Whitiwhitia e te ra Mahea ake nga poraruraru Makere ana nga here, Makere ana nga here. Fly O free spirit, fly  to the clouds in the heavens,  transformed by the sun,  with all doubts swept away  and all restrains cast down. Yes, all restrains are cast down.

The stars and the sky act as the cloak of God and becomes my place of rest. The sparkling stars are out, so is the full moon. They become my companions in my house of rest. The clouds in the milkyway are showing me my pathway. they become my companions in my house of rest."   

This is Nga Waka.  This song will be performed at the Powhiri for the waka at Point England.  This is the result after our first lesson as a group.  The video quality isn't great but we should be able to follow the song. Practice this at home with the words.  The group will be performing with the school seniors on the 24th of March 2015.
