Ko te aroha

Here is a Maori Waiata (song) from some of the teachers at Peachgrove Intermediate School. As part of our Maori unit we will be using this video as a music tutorial for students to learn their kupu (words). This is a good way of learning a maori waiata because students can learn at school and at home. Lyrics and translation will be added soon.

Ko Te Aroha

Ko te aroha ano he wai
E pupu ake ana
He awa e mapuna mai ana
i roto i te whatu manawa

Ko tona matapuna he hohonu
a ina ia ka rere ano (x2)

He tai timu
He tai pari
He tai ope
He tairoa

He Tainui Repeat Waiata (Song)

Excellent job! I really enjoy listening and watching singing and dancing from Australia and New Zealand. My education is woefully inadequate with your cultures.

Kia ora ki a koutou te whanau o te akomanga 11 o Peachgrove.

Love the blog tamariki ma. Awesome to see what you are all up to. Can I please suggest some changes to the lyrics of the song Ko te aroha as per below with the * where changes have been suggested. I remember teaching this song down the road from Peachgrove at Te Ara Rima.

Ko te aroha ano he wai
E pupu ake ana*
He awa e mapuna mai ana*
i roto i te whatu manawa

Ko tona matapuna he hohonu*
a ina ia ka rere ano (x2)

He taitimu
He taipari
He taiope
He tairoa*
He Tainui

Keep up the good work. Awesome singing by the way!!

Kia ora mai ano.
