You may be familiar with this waiata from your childhood or from your own children singing it at school. This would be a wonderful waiata for our centres to learn and to unite us as our anthem.
Enjoy a short rendition by Stan Walker below.
Here is the waiata:
Tauranga moana
Mauao o maunga
Ngati Ranginui a he
Ngati Ranginui a he
Ngai-Te Rangi
E mihi nei e tau nei
Rapua e tau nei
Puritia e hine
Nga waawatatanga a nga tuupuna
I roto i tenei Ao hou
Nga waawatatanga a nga tuupuna
I roto i tenei Ao hou
Puritia kia mau kia mau
Nga taonga
Nga taonga
Maori e Maori e
