KI TAKU AWA- lyrics/kupu waiata
Verse
Noho mokemoke nei ahau e
Te kupu kua kore
Kua ui a roto e
I hē i hea
Pōhēhē ana e
Kai hea te ara e
Ka 5ro ki roto e
Pre-chorus
Kua huri te tai
Kua uapare mai
Kua rerekē i taua rā
Mahue te kō
Nō mua anō
Auē, Taiaho
Ka tahuri e
Chorus BV
Kia hokia
tōku awa
tōku awa
Chorus Lead
Auē, e hē haere nei ngā rā
Kua tō pea te rā
Arahina atu rā ahau
Ki taku awa
E koropiko nei au e
Ko te awa ko au e
Kia rere kau noa e
Verse
Kua roa rawa
te tamōnga i te kāinga
Ko roto kua ngaro noa
Ka kimi noa e
Homai te kaha
Homai te rangimārie

Kia whanake ai au e
Kia 5pu ai au e
Pre-chorus
Kua huri te tai
Kua uapare mai

Nō mua anō

Ka tahuri e

Kia hokia
tōku awa
tōku awa
Chorus Lead
Auē, e hē haere nei ngā rā

Ki taku awa
Chorus BV
Kia hokia
tōku awa

Auē, e hē haere nei ngā rā
Kua tō pea te rā

I’m not Māori, nor am I from New Zealand ❤ however, I’ve been there, travelled the whole North island 🏝 and fell in love…with the island, the people, the baby lambs, well, I fell in love with everything! Now, Stan Walker arrives in my YouTube feed, singing “I Am” and I’m flat out floored! What a performance! Perfect, flawless, I could not get enough! So, begins my journey of this song and Stan Walker 🎉😊WOW doesn’t even come close! I’m thinking, “where has this young man been, well, besides trying to save his own life from stomach cancer and the aftermath, but I’m smitten 🥰 and I’m watching every video, getting to see and know his love for his own family ❤ his desire to introduce the Māori people, their heritage, the language, customs and his love for his people, to the rest of the world! And I’m so excited and proud for Stan Walker 😅🎉to see him from the beginning, his raw talent, his beautiful music and his heartfelt love of his people and his beautiful spirit to guide all of this ❤ I’m on board and I’m thrilled to be here! You go Stan the man, of “I Am!” 😊

Love this and your music Stan. Thank you for giving this 71-year-old grandmother from upstate NY (USA) something to smile about! I love it when an artist sings, not only with their voice but with their whole body. You do that. It comes from your soul and that is a true gift. Stay beautiful Stan and pray for world peace... 💗💞☮

[Itsme_Gojo]

I love your music, Stan, this song is so amazing. Just like all your songs, I was born in Aotearoa but then moved to Australia at the age of one, and my mum and your mum have been listening to your songs for as long as I have been alive which is 13 years. And my Whanau loves your song Maori ki te ao. I know all the lyrics to most of your songs, and I can't wait to learn the lyrics to this one. I remember seeing you at my school Cambridge Primary in 2019 and my brother got a photo with you, I was devastated when my teacher told me I couldn't have a picture with you.

[nogoodnate-eh]

I can’t describe the full body chills I get whenever I listen to your music, but this song was no different. I’m always in a place of worship when I hear your music. 🙏🏻 Stan, you are an incredible artist, and a truly brilliant man. My entire family love your music and have followed your journey ever since Australian Idol. We love how unapologetically authentic and genuine you are, and how connected you are to your roots and your ancestry. My mama has always said “We need to be more like, Stan. Stand up. Let our voices be heard. Be ourselves no matter what and don’t let anyone dim our light, ” and she is precisely right. I have even introduced my partner to your music, and now we constantly sing your songs in the car and immediately we find ourselves overtaken with a warmth and happiness when listening to your music. You have a beautiful gift.

A word from my Koro, “Continue to go out into the world and preach, spread your gift, and bless those around you. He tino pai tō mahi”

[Nesseee]

Everytime you drop a new single, my eyes well up with pride. You are truly a taonga. Thank you for blessing us all with your gift
