For my 10th activity I had to look at a Maori Waiata I like. Then I had to post and say why I like this Waiata. Here is one of my favourite Maori Waiata. Hope you enjoy.
Click On the Title Whakaaria Mai and there will be a link to the Maori words and tune .
| Whakaaria mai Tōu rīpeka ki au Tiaho mai Rā roto i te pō Hei kona au Titiro atu ai. Ora, mate, Hei au koe noho ai | Show your cross to me. Let it shine there in the darkness. To there I will be looking. In life, in death, let me rest in thee. |
Hey there Anitimoni, thanks for completing another activity and working so hard during your summer break. It's great to see!
ReplyDeleteYou have chosen a beautiful Waiata. I like how you've provided the lyrics and also the English translation. It is very helpful.
I was wondering why you consider this to be your favourite Waiata?
Thanks, Billy

ReplyDeleteThank you for the comment. This Waiata is my favourite because it reminds me about what my mum says about my school work
