Tōku Reo - Waiata

A stunning rendition of ‘Tōku Reo’ sung by roopu,Titahi Ki Tua at Aotearoa Pā for Aiesha Kahui-Heke’s 21st Birthday 🎤🎉
Lyrics - Tōku Reo
Tōku reo, tōku ohooho
Māpihi maurea, whakakai mārihi
Nei rā te kaupapa ko te reo māori, ē
He taonga tuku iho nō ngā tīpuna
He pare kawakawa, he mea hirahira, ē
Tōku reo, tōku ohooho
Māpihi maurea, whakakai mārihi
Kōrerotia te reo I ngā wā katoa
Kia kore e rite ki te moa
Mana tangata, mana motuhake
Tōku reo, tōku ohooho
Māpihi maurea, whakakai mārihi
Nā Tawhiro Maxwell & Okeroa Huriwaka nō Whakatōhea ♥️

As a Tongan I can agree Maori people have the best voices and thier waiata is just amazing I lead at my school so I love Kapa haka❤

[kotialbert]

I'm Cook Island and this is a beautiful song straight up.

[Bonz]

My girl sang the lead to this waiata in her first year of papamoa college 23. The kura hadnt had a kapa haka group for a few years. This was beautifully done 👌🏽😍

[rinajkerei]

Ataahua rawa atu. Ko wēnei te oranga o tō tātou reo rangatira mō ake tonu. Ki te kore rātou e whai i te ara i whakaritea e ngā tūpuna, ae rā ka ngaro pērā i te Moa.💌

I am 54 years old and Maori, recently lost my cousin who was a brother. He would have loved this waiata.chur❤❤❤

[Muritaipet]

What I love about this, is it's just people singing. Yeah, it's an event. I'd guess they've sung together a few times before.

But it's just so glorious. Nga tangata whenua.

Ko tõku reo toku ohooho, ko toku reo tõku mấpihi maurea...
My language is my awakening, my language is the window to my soul.

This is breathtaking, kai ora!! ❤❤❤
