Introduction Tangi a te ruru, kei te hokihoki mai e. E whaka-whero-whero i te putahitanga. Nāku nei ra koe i tuku kia haere. Tēra puritia iho nui rawa te aroha e. Verse, sung twice Te Hokinga Mai, tēna koutou Tangi ana te ngākau i te aroha Tū tonu ra te mana te ihi o nga tupuna kua wehea atu rā Mauria mai te mauri tangata hei oranga mo te mōrehu tangi mōkai nei E rapu ana i te ara tika mo tātou katoa. Te Hokinga Mai, Te Hokinga Mai Tū tangata tonu!

Kia Ora balas (brothers) blo me, thank you for doing this song . It is similar to a song we sing in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island style. Sings of our ancestors (tupenas- hope I spelt it right) and how they went before us and their journeys across the land and sea guided by the constellations, the, moon and sun, and now we are the ones who need to, or will walk the same paths they did with respectful pride in our culture and to teach what is right and respectful to the young people and to right the wrongs of the past. Yesu Bless you, my brothers. Wai keri bagaire, Debe Kine, from The Torres Strait Islands and Australia. Big Esso for this song again. It makes me feel happy but very emotional too.
