Mā Wai Rā E Whakarongo?

from Te Kaitiaki by Kirsten Te Rito

lyrics

MĀ WAI RĀ E WHAKARONGO
Hurihuri haere te ao nei 
Ka rongo au i te ua
Me te tataunga o te pūtea
Ka noho pēnei tonu au – ā roro nei
 
He miere kei ngā ara
Me tūpono au te kai
Mamae ana te whātoro ake
He pai te mamae – he wairangi nōku – e mea nei rātau
 
He tamariki wāku
He whānau tōku 

Hurihuri haere te ao nei 
Ka rongo au i te ua
Me te tataunga o te pūtea
Ka noho pēnei tonu au

Mātau ana te hunga ō waho nei ki taku wehi
Kua waia nei au, ki ngā hoa ō waho nei
Tūtaki ai ki te kai, kāre mō te amu

Mā wai rā e whakarongo?

He tamariki wāku
He whānau tōku
