Kia Ora Koutou!
Here is a waiata ā-ringa (action song) from the East Coast about their tūpuna (ancestor), Paikea. This is one of the waiata that I would love for the tamariki to learn as a new item/ new action song.
Don’t be shy, (kaua e whakamā). I’ve put the words below, so follow along and give it a go. I’d love you to share a video of you doing your best version of Paikea.
Uia mai koia,
whakahuatia ake
Ko wai te whare nei e
Ko wai te tekoteko kei runga
Ko Paikea Ko Paikea
Whakakau Paikea
Whakakau he tipua
Whakakau he taniwha – Hei
Ka ū Paikea ki Ahuahu Pakia
Kei te whitia koe
ko Kahutia-te-rangi
Me ai tō ure ki te tamahine
a Te Whironui
nāna i noho te Roto-o-tahe
Aue! Aue!
He koruru koe, koro e
