Our class has been proudly learning how to sing E Minaka Ana and discussing the importance of the lyrics.
Let us be staunch
in speaking Maori!
I desire that
my talk be like that of a leader,
my noble language
my precious inheritance.
Astound me
with your maturity by
the evanescence, the spirit you show
when speaking Maori.
Let us be staunch
in speaking Maori!
