Ki taku matau he Waiata Tahito tenei Neke Atu Te wha rau o nga tau nga kupu engari ko Te rere o tenei Waiata he koha ki Te iwi Maori Kia Ora Tonu nga kupu mo nga whakatupuranga kei Te haere Tonu mai, na oku maatua whaea tenei rere mai I te maunga Panguru Papata ki Hokianga
this is an ancient song over 400years the tune was added recently in the 70s by the Korewha whanau at Panguru to commemorate a kaumatua birthday so who knows who wrote it no one does, but it was preserved after the tune was put to it so we wouldnt lose the words
Kiaora Kia Marsden would you know the translation of this waiata i have translated this song word by word but as we know Waiata can mean something else when whakapapa and kaupapa is added? thanks for you time
My mum remembers my dad singing this song to them in a party in Otorohanga when they met and that was in 1966, it already had the tune and my dad learned this as a party song from his mother. The tune and the song existed long before the 70's. My dad always told us that this was not a tangi song.
“As I stand here within this house I am overcome Captured by grief My body So heavy with sadness I may never stand Beneath such weight A knot in the handkerchief Can come undone But the knot of love Will remain steadfast Tears come streaming down At this sight before me Breathless with sobbing Caused by much grief”
@@MrRooXs He waiata ki te whakamaumahara hoki - a waiata also to remember those that have gone, those that give me the strength to be who I am. I have sung it when I have gone home to our marae and stood in the whare for mihimihi. So yes it is a waiata that can be sung at a tangi when going to pay your respects, but I feel confident to also sing it as a mark of respect to those who are in our whare.
As I stand here Within this house I am overcome with grief (Chorus) My body so heavy with sadness I may never stand beneath such weight A knot in the handkerchief Can come undone, But the knot of love Will remain steadfast Tears come streaming down At this sight before me Breathless with sobbing caused by much grief ....translation from Te Hononga booklet
@@kri-m19 Kia ora Chris, arohamai, I don't have the info / booklet with me. It would probably be in there. You could ask Wikitoria Makiha a kuia from Te Rarawa, she is well versed in waiata and may be able to help.

“As I stand here
within this house
I am overcome
Captured by grief
My body
So heavy with sadness
I may never stand
Beneath such weight
A knot in the handkerchief
Can come undone
But the knot of love
Will remain steadfast
Tears come streaming down
At this sight before me
Breathless with sobbing
Caused by much grief”
thank you :)
When is an appropriate time or occasion to use this waiata?
This is a party song, having fun. Not appropriate for tangi as it talks about the mans uri being to big to stand up.
@@dtuerata7697 No its not, its a song of grief. He waiata tangi.
Tangi, I've seen it sung at birthdays.

Na hea tenei waiata?

He aha te tikanga e pa ana tō whakahoki - "seriously have a bit of respect", nā wai i hē?

As I stand here
Within this house
I am overcome with grief

My body
so heavy with sadness
I may never stand

A knot in the handkerchief
Can come undone,

Will remain steadfast

Breathless with sobbing
