Ko te Waipounamu

 Kia ora Koutou,

Camilla likes this waiata because it has links to Ngāti Apa ki te Rā Tō, so we'll learn it :)

I'm still learning the guitar chords and I'll post these soon. Translation to follow. 

I can't even work out how to post the video here- so here's a link.

Kaea

Ko te Waipounamu

Tōnā kei waho, tahi, rua, toru, whā

Ko te Waipounamu

Maranga mai ki runga

E ngā iwi ō te motu ē tau nei

Kaua e tukua

Kei ngaro te whenua

Ē ngā iwi ō te motu haere mai

Maranga te Waipounamu

Pōwhiritia ngā iwi

Te reo karanga

Te reo pōwhiri

Ē ngā iwi ō te motu haere mai

(repeats)

Haere, haere mai
