Heya.

It could be a bit hard to get/buy that song. Songs are usually specially written for Kapa Haka Groups. I recognise the different tunes in the song... but there english counterparts will be nothin glike this and will have a completely different meaning unfortunately. Sorry about that.

[piihau]

e te atua manaakitia mai ra tenei te tuohu nei ki mua i to aroaro ko koe te timatanga te whakamutunga o nga mea katoa. kia whakapaingia to ingoa tapu.
