Not part of our waiata - simply a blast from the past to enjoy during the break :)

In the second video, the presenter mentions talented composer Ngoi Pewhairangi .  You can see what information we have on Ngoi here.

If the name sounds familiar, perhaps you may have heard 'Ngoi Ngoi'? Or you may have heard of E Ipo ?

First Verse: 'E nga iwi e' for 'Kaimahi e'
Last Verse: 'Aue hi' for 'Aue te aroha'

Māori E nga iwi ( .. Kaimahi e .. ) Karanga e te iwi e Kua eke mai nei Kua eke mai nei ki runga te marae e Mauria mai ra Mauria mai ra me nga mate ote motu e Me nga tini roimata Me nga tini roimata e maringi whanui e Aha titiro e nga iwi Titiro e nga iwi ki nga mahi o te motu E horo ake nei e Ruana te whenua Ruana te whenua whatiwhati te moana Aue Hi ( .. Aue te aroha .. ) Aue te aroha te mamae i ahau e
