Ka Pioioi - Waiata Maori performed by PacCon Pacific Connection Choir

The PacCon acapella community choir is based in Porirua NZ which incorporates Pacific music, culture and tradition. The PacCon whānau wanted to learn and perform a Maori waiataringa (action song) and this is the result.
This performance is part of a set performed at the Friends and Family night at Whitireia Polytechnic, November 2020.
Jolie Davis (playing the guitar in this video) is a traditional practitioner of Mirimiri and Romiromi (Māori healing and bodywork), based in Porirua, NZ. She delivers the Manawa Ora 2-day workshop; the Foundations of Māori Bodywork and Healing - Wellington, Rotorua, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Gold Coast. Reconnecting people to traditional knowledge and practice.

Ka pioioi e
Tohu aroha haukāinga
E hoki mai rā
Kia kite atu i tō iwi e.
E rotarota ana
E katakata ana mai rā.
Pūkana whetero mai
I te ihi ā ō mātua.
Kia kite atu ano
I tō ataahua ai kanapa
Pupuhi ai e te hau
Kapohia āku roimata.
Ka pioioi he
tohu aroha haukāinga.

Absolutely joyful.

[@samanthafaatupua3448]

Je pourrais avoir la traduction en français....j'adore carrément quand vous chanté 🙏🙏🙏😍

[@wolftruong2413]

Je les adore aussi ! Je chante dans une chorale de Barbershop qui s’appelle Vocal FX, et on a une rélation très étroite avec Pacific Connection ; on les considère comme notre « chorale sœur » à Wellington.
Désolé en avance ; mon francais est pas terrible (je suis néo-zélandais) et je ne parle pas du tout le maori (donc je dois traduire de maori en anglais et puis en français !), mais en général la chanson est comme un accueil pour les expatriés qui retournent en NZ. La traduction des paroles est quelque chose comme ça :
Ka pioioi e (Cette danse ondulante)
Tohu aroha haukāinga (montre l’amour des gens de votre ville natale)
E hoki mai rā (Vous avez rentré chez vous)
Kia kite atu i tō iwi e (pour voir votre peuple)
E rotarota ana (Il y a des gens qui font des gestes)
E katakata ana mai rā (et rirent de joie à ton retour)
Pūkana whētero mai (Des yeux qui éclatent et des langues qui poussent (un « pūkana » c’est comme un visage de guerre))
I te ihi ā ō mātua (de l’énergie de ceux qui dansent)
Kia kite atu ano (Je vois encore une fois)
I tō ataahua ai kanapa (Votre beauté qui y brille)
Pupuhi ai e te hau (Elle est caressée par le vent)
Kapohia āku roimata (et mes larmes se sont arrachés)
Ça sonne peut-être un peu bizarre mais la langue maorie est très différente de l’anglais et du français aussi, alors les traductions exactes sont impossibles. J’espère que c’était utile quand-même !
