He always makes me cry with this amazing version of He Kākano Ahau. It's a song of surviving brutal colonization, reminding our ppl that we are seeds of greatness - our ancestors, and our native language is a treasure to ensure our survival. Thank you I love your reactions!

You posted this 3 weeks ago, I just seen it today damn,

Maori:
He kakano ahau
I ruia mai i Rangiateai
And I can never be lost
I am a seed, born of greatness
Descended from a line of chiefs,
He kakano ahau

Ki hea ra au e hitekiteki2 ana
Ka mau tonu i ahau oku tikanga
Toku reo, toku oho-oho,
Toku reo, toku mapihi maurea3
Toku whakakai marihi
My language is my strength,
An ornament of grace

Ka tu ana ahau,
Ka uhia au e oku tipuna4
My pride I will show
That you may know who I am
I am a warrior, a survivor
He morehu ahau

Ki hea ra au e hitekiteki ana
Ka mau tonu i ahau oku tikanga
Toku reo, toku oho-oho,
Toku reo, toku mapihi maurea
Toku whakakai marihi
My language is my strength,
An ornament of grace

TRANSLATE
I am a seed
Scattered from Rangiatea
And I can never be lost
I am a seed, born of greatness
Descended from a line of chiefs,
I am a seed.

Wherever I may roam
I will hold fast to my traditions.
My language is my cherished possession
My language is the object of my affection
My precious adornment
My language is my strength,
An ornament of grace

Whenever I stand,
I am covered in mana by my ancestors
My pride I will show
That you may know who I am
I am a warrior, a survivor
I'm a survivor.

Wherever I may roam
I will hold fast to my traditions.
My language is my cherished possession
My treasured Tiger Shell
My precious ornament
My language is my strength,
An ornament of grace

[marleneedwards]

He kakano ahau
I am a seed
from my ancestors

[halihalihaidiho]

I am seeded from my ancestors, we are warriors, no matter where I go I will hold on to my ways, my culture my language. It’s an ornamental grace👏❤️

[everlynhoughton]

The original song was composed by Hohepa Tamehana called "Born of Greatness" and is about finding strength in Te reo Maori (Maori language) and whakapapa (Lineage). Beautiful empowering waiata (song) and sung by Stan in that manner.

[janetlewis]

Yes its traditional maori culture beautiful

[elvismiki]

Every tribe knows it brings back the good old days 😊😊😊

[elainedkfkriyuiitlogie]

In New Zealand we encourage to keep the Maori language alive. It's taught in school. The Maori language is beautiful. Each word is so passionate. The traditional native songs and dance are so worth encouraging to pass them down to the next generation.

[LynleyFermanis]

Thank you for this reaction... Stan is indeed an impeccable artist ... He is a man of many talents who was born to shine...He is "A Seed Of Greatness"

[debramiles]

[corruptioncatchernz]

Yes old man Huda its traditional and a well know hymm/song just saying we came from a long line of chiefs and that we are proud, warriors and survivors.

[leilafaletau]

Absolutely love your Stan Walker material! ❤❤❤

[Frank-rxch]

"He kakano ahau, I ruia mai i rangiatea".
"I am a seed sown from beyond".
It also has that biblical sense of the farmer going out to sow seeds to produce good harvest/knowledge and understanding.

[MissyBoyd]

Born of Greatness! 😊😊
Aotearoa/New Zealand 😊

[metamoli-forbuss]

He wrote this piece… “talks about his language is his strength”

[susansegura]

Saw him start on American Heard ultralight beam on Facebook just a smide and was on a mission to hear the whole song! He’s amazing I too don’t know what he’s saying but I love it!!!!

[kohakii]

My knowledge of the making of this waiata (song) Written and composed by Hohepa Tamehana no Tuhoe for a group of young maori artist who were apart of a tv show called Nga Manutioriori in the late 90's early 2000's It was recorded with the top 16 Maori singers from the tv show (i think) and produced by Music producer Phil Fuemana who owned the record label U.P.R Urban Pacifika Records and had the number hit How Bizzard in 7 countrys, since then its become an anthem here in Aotearoa.
The first time it was sung fully in Te Reo Maori (Maori music)was by 3 sisters from Masterton, NZ (shout out to the Martin Sisters) and was on a show called " He Wai " which show cased maori music fully in Te Reo and on mainstream television TV2 (this is when barriers start breaking through maori music / Maoridom) I happened to be apart of that show twice when i was young 15year old as apart of a school boy band group C.P.T.T. It was then Hohepa Tamehana the writer and composer of He Kakano ahau took us on as an Maori RnB trio and become our manager, he renamed us Koha Kii (which means Spoken Gifts) and signed us up with a new image and signed us to the U.P.R record label which we were the First to record an Album in Te Reo Maori by a Male Maori Rnb trio at the time. We were also apart of a Gifted & Maori tour along with another artists and groups from all over NZ, to name afew Verse 3 who were once Maia3 from Tauranga Girls College, WVVLC a Maori hip hop Rnb group from Waitahanui and then 4 brothers from South Auckland called Chapter a hip hop rap group. we were all signed to the record label. An compilation album called Gifted and Maori was produced by U.P.R which featured a re recording of the song He Kakano Ahau (Born of Greatness) ft Koha Kii, Verse 3, WVVLC w/lil tyrone aka big whetu and also ft Hohepa Tamehana as well. And now the song has been recorded again 20yrs later By Stan Walker.

I hope this is helpful. All 3 versions of the song are all totally different which is miharo (amazing)

if you want to listen to the Gifted & Maori version of He Kakano Ahau you can just go into my channel under the Koha Kii album playlist cos the song ft on our album aswel.
