Rangiaowhia - Ngā kupu

He mea tuku iho to mana whenua
I heke mai nei i a Apakura!

Mai ngaa tihi o Pironga
Ki ngaa Waipaa Koowharawhara

Koiora raa ko ngaa pikonga
Me ngoo na taniwha,
me ngoo na tupua

Hoea raa ko te waka Tainui ki uta
Ka puta, ko ngaa iwi maha
Ka ora, ko Ngaati Apakura e!

Kei ngaa uri o Apakura
Hoki mai ki te whenua.

Ki te uia mai koe, whakapuakina ake
i heke tō mana
whenua i whea?

I a Rangi e tū iho nei, te rangi-i-aowhia
I a Papa e takoto mai nei
Ko Ngāhuruhuru,
Ko Rangiaowhia!

Taku mana motuhake,
taku ipukarea

Nei rā, ko manawa
e apakuratia ana. (Kia hoki mai taku nui ki a au!)

Tāngaengae ki te whenua
Tē motukia
Ko te papa e takoto mai nei
Ko Rangiaowhia! (Rangiaowhia)

Hoki mai e nga uri maheu,
ngā ahi teretere

Hoki mai ki ngā mahi tūpuna, ngā mahi hauhake
Tiritiria, Pou rākau
Kia tū ō to whare
He tohu tēnei ō te ora
Tiritiria, ruiruia…

Ko te papanga i raranga
ki roto i to tinana
Ko te mauri o Rangiaowhia

He morehu koe
Ko koe te purapura o te ora
Te kaitiaki o tenei taonga tuku iho

‘He Whaimana’

Whakapākēhā:

The ownership of the land is inherited from Apakura.

From the peaks of Pironga is Waipaa Koowharawhara.

The life force with its many bends, many creatures and many ancestors

Tainui's canoe was rowed ashore.
Turns out, many people
Ngaati Apakura e! Will survive.

It is in the descendants of Apakura. Come back to the land.

As Rangi is now standing in 'rangi i aowhia'!

Ngāhuruhuru is where Papa is lying.

Rangiaowhia!

My authority, my homeland

My heart and its lament for my people to return home.

Connect to the land, and it will never be severe.

Connect to the land that is called Rangiaowhia!

Come back all scattered descendants, the flickering fires.
Come back to the old ways, the harvest. It should be shared, the firm post of your house.
A sign of good health. Shaken and shared.

The fabric was woven
into your body
The Mauri of Rangiaowhia

You are a survivor.
You are the seed of life.
The guardian of this legacy
