A song in your heart

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.
