Learning Te Reo Māori isn't easy. I'm trying and I'm struggling but I will do it. I am learning because of my parents. This is my beautiful father. He lit a fire on the day my beautiful mother died. I miss them both everyday.
E tū ana ahau i te maunga MANA TANIWHA
Ka whakawhiti atu ki ngā pae maunga o MANGAMUKA
Ka titiro whakararo ki te awa o TAUWAI
E rere kau ana ki te moana o WHANGAROA MOANA me MOANA-NUI-A-KIWA
Kei reira tōku waka o MAMARI e tau ana, e kawe ana i ōna uri
Ka huri tōku mata ki toku marae o KARANGAHAPE, ko re wāhi i nohia ai e ōku tipuna.
Ko HONGI HIKA te tangata
Nāna nei te marae o KAITANGATA i taurima.
Hei whakaruruhau ia a NGAPUHI
Ko Huhana tōku ingoa
Tēnā koutou, Tēnā koutou, Tēnā tātou katoa
