Te Wiki o Te Reo

A snapshot of learning Te Reo

Chorus

He aha tēnei mea te Matauranga?

He koha i tukuna mai i nga tupuna

Ki a tatou te hunga tangata, me tiakina

Uuu he aha hoki? Hikina te manuka!!

What is education?

A gift passed down from the ancestors.

We humans are to be protected.

Why not? Get rid of manuka

First verse

He kakano i

Ruia mai i Rangiatea Ranginui

Tena me whakamana i te koha

O nga atua 

Ē ta. 

It's a seed

From Rangiatea Ranginui

Please accept the gift

of the Gods

Second verse

Tatou nga uri 

Uri whakaheke o nga hapu nga iwi

Nga tamariki o Aotearoa

E Ihowa

Our descendants

Descendants of tribal tribes

New Zealand children

O Lord.
