Purea Nei

Purea Nei - Hirini Melbourne
 
This waiata is one I sung back in the day. I didn't realise then quite how powerful and uplifting the kupu are.

This will be sung by the Stoke Cluster at this year's Haka Boogie, in remembrance of Fiona who taught at Tahunanui school.

Purea nei e te hau Horoia e te ua Whitiwhitia e te ra Mahea ake nga poraruraru Makere ana nga here.	Scattered by the wind washed by the rain and transformed by the sun, all doubts are swept away and all restrains are cast down.
E rere wairua, e rere Ki nga ao o te rangi Whitiwhitia e te ra Mahea ake nga poraruraru Makere ana nga here, Makere ana nga here.	Fly O free spirit, fly to the clouds in the heavens, transformed by the sun, with all doubts swept away and all restrains cast down. Yes, all restrains are cast down.
