Drama (Matariki)

Stan walker aotearoa-don’t know what style of music it is

I like how creative it is

The song is about new zealand

I like the beat to it

(feat. Troy Kingi, Ria Hall, Maisey Rika)

Nō tawhiti, nō tata

nō te whenua o te Atua tātou

ahakoa nō hea mai koe

ka whawhai tonu mātou mōu

Ko au tō maunga, tū tonu

ko te moana pari mai koe

ko koe te awa i taku remu, ko tāua anō tāua

nō te one i Kurawaka, hei tiaki i te whenua nei

Aotearoa, he iwi kaha tātou,

he mana tuku iho mai anō

whenua haumako

wairua ora

whāia tō ara

ki te mutunga

Nō tawhiti, nō tata

nō te whenua o te Atua tātou

ahakoa nō hea mai koe

ka whawhai tonu mātou mōu

[RIA HALL:]

He kōrero tō te whenua, heke mai ki a tātou

he toa au mōna e oke nei e

e kore au e hinga

he uri nō te roimata

te toto o ngā tūpuna

e kore au e wehi ē

[TROY KINGI:]

Kia kaha tātou ki tāu i pai ai

Whakatinana, kaua e ngutu noa

Whenua haumako, wairua ora

whāia tō ara ki te mutunga

Nō tawhiti, nō tata

nō te whenua o te Atua tātou

ahakoa nō hea mai koe

ka whawhai tonu mātou mōu

Nō tawhiti, nō tata

nō te whenua o te Atua tātou

ahakoa nō hea mai koe

ka whawhai tonu mātou mōu

[NZ NATIONAL ANTHEM – MAISEY RIKA]      

E Ihowa atua

o ngā iwi mātou rā

āta whakarongona

me aroha noa

kia hua ko te pai

kia tau tō atawhai

manaakitia mai

Aotearoa!

Nō tawhiti, nō tata

nō te whenua o te Atua tātou

ahakoa nō hea mai koe

ka whawhai tonu mātou mōu

Nō tawhiti, nō tata

nō te whenua o te Atua tātou

ahakoa nō hea mai koe

ka whawhai tonu mātou mōu

Nō tawhiti, nō tata

nō te whenua o te Atua tātou

ahakoa nō hea mai koe

ka whawhai tonu mātou mōu

[English Translation:]

No matter if you're near or far

We come from the land of God

No matter where you belong

We'll fight for your freedom

I am the mountain, you are the sea flowing toward me

You are the river that runs through me, I am her she is me

Created from dust and sand, born to lead this land

Where we come from we were made to be strong

Our legacy will carry on

And if a piece of home

Resonates in your soul

Your journey will take you

Where you belong

No matter if you're near or far

We come from the land of God

No matter where you belong

We'll fight for your freedom

[RIA HALL:]

The heritage of this land is deep, we are it's legacy

I am her warrior, I fight for thee, we have the victory

Born from blood and tears, I am stronger than fear

[TROY KINGI:]

We strive to move to our destiny

we practice more than what we preach

and if a piece of home resonates in your soul

your journey will take you where you belong

No matter if you're near or far

We come from the land of God

No matter where you belong

We'll fight for your freedom

[NZ NATIONAL ANTHEM – MAISEY RIKA]

God of Nations at thy feet

In the bonds of love we meet

Hear our voices we entreat

God defend our free land!

No matter if you're near or far

We come from the land of God

No matter where you belong

We'll fight for your freedom

No matter if you're near or far

We come from the land of God

No matter where you belong

We'll fight for your freedom

No matter if you're near or far

We come from the land of God

No matter where you belong

We'll fight for your freedom

Modern Māori Quartet feat. Awhimai Fraser 'Māreikura

It’s quite basic

I don’t know what it’s about/lyrics

It’s nice but I can hardly hear the girl.

WAIRUA-Maimoa

It’s looks exciting and fun. Colourful as well

I like that it has a good meaning behind it

English lyrics

The essence of soul and spirit tingles the skin

An essence that isn't truly felt until one opens up

Once confronted by internal debate, a source of life and inspiration springs within you

A spring-well of instinct and a soul that is completely yours

[Chorus]

It is your SPIRIT - may it spread around the world

It is your SOUL - let it fly and soar

Filled with instinct and inspiration that can guide you to your full potential

A little wairua is better than none at all, be it small or large - it is still a gift

Although it may not be tangible, it's a connection blind to the naked eye

Once confronted by internal debate, a source of life and inspiration springs within you

A spring-well of life and soul that is completely yours

It is your SPIRIT - may it spread around the world

It is your SOUL - let it fly and soar

A subtle means of inspiration and spiritual flow that can guide you to your full potential

Stomp clap the beat the beat clap, to the pound pound clap, the beat the beat CLAP!

Stand up and let your wairua guide you!

Kalega

It has quite a nice beat

I like how changes from english to maori throughout the song

I don’t know the english translations for the maori parts.
