Our Karakia

Tuia Te Here Tangata (Tauparapara/karakia)

Whakarongo, whakarongo, whakarongo

Whakarongo ki te tangi a te manu e karanga nei

Tui, tui, tui, tuia

Tuia i runga,

Tuia i raro,

Tuia i roto,

Tuia i waho,

Tuia i te here tangata

Tihei mauriora

Listen ! Listen ! Listen !

Listen to the cry of the bird calling

"Unite, unite, be one !"
Weave above

weave within
Weave without

Weave many strands of people together
