Te Ata Māhina - cover by Daniel&Ashley

Te Ata Māhina by Te pikikotuku o ngati rongomai

We are so blessed to be part of Aotearoa and this week is especially important as we celebrate Waitangi day.
We want to share this beautiful song ‘Te ata māhina’. It’s about the sun rising to clear away the night for a new day.

We pray for harmony and peace among all diversity in New Zealand and look forward to 2020!

Lyrics:

Ko te ata māhina

Ata tuhi, ata rapa

Maiea te putanga o Tamanuiterā



Ko te ata hāpara 

Mahea te pō 



Ka ao, ka awatea

Ki te whaiao, ki te ao mārama 



Kōrihi te manu

Kōki te oro

Ko te ata pō 

Te kōpara e kō ake i te ata





Ka ao, ka awatea

Ki te whaiao, ki te ao mārama 

Hui e, tāiki e

[marlynhunter]

I just heard two gentlemen on Tik-Tok performing a whistle version of this song. How beautiful is it to hear it sang. Beautiful and spiritual.💙💙💙💙⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

God, your pronunciation is absolutely phenomenal! Puts some of our news reporters to shame who can't even pronounce basic Maori place names. Beaming with pride and proudness at this. Thank you for investing time to learn the kupu and share your version of the song and ataahua voices with us. Tino mihi ki a korua.

[DanielAshleyDuo]

Thank you for watching and all your comments.!!🥰
It is our pleasure to share waiata Māori.😁🎶
We were not able to make new videos regularly due to our baby girl coming in March. (+ It is hard to sing with a baby inside..) However, we are looking forward to this new chapter and hope to share more videos this year..! 💕 Thank you again for watching and your encouraging comments.!

Tino ataahua e wāhine!
The original singers of this waiata (song) are my people, my family kapahaka group Te Pīkikotuku o Ngati Rongomai from the Te Arawa tribe - Rotorua, Aotearoa-New Zealand.
I sang with you and it was awesome, of course I did the male part.
Such an amazing voice.

such a beautiful voice, first time I heard this version I was in hospital morning after I gave birth our baby was born premature and lost her battle, my whanau took her to be buried I was unable to go due to being rushed into surgery once I came out of surgery and back into my ward, a beautiful wāhine was playing this version I woke up to this song playing so beautiful and brang tears to my eyes 💜

Ko te ata mahina
Ata tuhi, ata rapa
Maiea te putanga o
Tama-nui-te-ra

Ko te ata hapara
Mahea te pō
Ka ao, ka awatea, ki te whaiao,
ki te ao marama

Korihi te manu
Koki te oro
Ko te ata pō (te ata pō, ata pō)
Te kopara e ko ake i te ata
Ka ao, ka awatea, ki te whaiao,
ki te ao

Huia e....taiki e...
