Hi, I'm from Germany and I love the music, not only from Maori, but also from the whole Polynesia region and Hawaii. On Youtube I found a video with a song, that I would like to play and sing with my friends. I think it must be a song from Polynesia. Now I am looking for the lyrics, but i didn't find them on the web. I would be very happy, if you could find the lyrics and post it here. The title is "Te Maringi Nei Toku Roimata" and the author must be "H.Teumere". Thank you very much. Greetings from Munich/Bavaria/Germany.

E tohoko whitu atu kia kaha ra

Katira te hingahinga ki raro ra

Maunga whakaae kei runga rawa

Hei arahi e tiaha e tika ai

Whirinaki whirinaki tatou katoa

Kia kotahi ra


Nga rimu Aue

Anei o tamariki e

E patu nei e

Nga Marae e tuhoa nei

Aue ra e tama ma

Te mamae te pouri nui

E pa tu nei I ahau I na

Kia Kotahi Ra



Nga Rimu aue

Anai o tamariki E
