Lyrics
Te ararau o Tangaroa
E rere ki te papaurunui
(x3)
Tahora nui ātea
Te manawa o te moana
Te mauri o Tangaroa
Tangaroa whakamautai
Tangaroa whakamautai
Tūtara Kauika
He poutiriao
Te wai o Tangaroa
Te wai o Tangaroa
Te tangi a te tohorā
He tohu nō aituā
Te mau a Tangaroa
Te mau a Tangaroa
He kaitiaki
He taonga
He tipua
He ariki
He taniwha
He tipua
He kaitiaki
He taonga
He tipua
Tangaroa whakamautai
Nā Maisey Rika i whakapākehātia.
English translation by Maisey Rika
The various waterways of Tangaroa
Flow back into its voluminous source
(x3)
The vast expanse
The heart of the ocean
The life-force of Tangaroa
Tangaroa commander of the tides
A pod of whales (or in reference to Tūtara Kauika the historical whale guardian ancestor)
A supernatural phenomenon
Evolving from the waters of Tangaroa
The waters of Tangaroa
The cry of the whale
Signals a warning
The power of Tangaroa
The power of Tangaroa
Tangaroa commander of the tides
A guardian
A precious treasure
A strange / supernatural being
A god
Of the ancient prehistoric realm
A guardian
A precious treasure
A strange / supernatural being
Tangaroa commander of the tides.

I'm from the United States, but I listen to music around the world, and this has to be one of my favorite songs I've ever heard. I've always had interest in cultures and languages that are not my own, especially Native American, Maori, and Hawaiian. There's just something about them that makes me feel at home.
Human beings living on earth, connected to our heritage.
Thats beautiful. If you look deeper into your ancestry, you'll most probably find a connection to one of these languages.
Meant with all respect and in no way intending to deny the genocide, colonization, and racism indigenous people have faced but music like this reminds me that we are all indigenous to this planet. Animism, shamanism, and earth-based spiritual practice is our birth right. We are one.
@@mlgraney60 I agree 🙏🏽
Kia ora
played this as we let my dads ashes out to the sea..to be with tangaroa he was 81... r.i.p ,Matua
Sorry for your great loss. Your fathers wairua lives on in you.
Aww sorry for your loss ma bro

Anna Nowak I'm Maori
Hello
Anna Nowak thanks
Anna Nowak kiaora
I’m Tongan and this is my favourite Maori song ever since, and I still listen to it 🙂
And Fangai Lupe is my favourite Tongan song
Malo
Same here
What I can make out of the words
Tangaloa fakama'uta = Tagaroa a shyness of land
Ika=fish
moana=vast deep sea
vai o Tangaloa= waters of Tagaroa
tangi=cry

I don't have Maori blood running through my veins or Maori relatives but there's just something about this hauntingly beautiful song that somehow resonates through me, it has helped me tremendously in getting through this tough year.
same jodi
I feel the same. Something resonates so strongly with me as well. I am actually going to record this one this year as well. It is just too beautiful
It’s all aroha😁
@Biologica Mente da
Its the wairua
I am not Maori . But, as a person of Celtic origin , we honour nature also.
This song remembers me that my sis was playing this song
I am quarter Māori
@@rachelburke3097 Kia ora
I understand what u mean wen u say ur ¼ Māori .... but in Te Ao Māori/Māori Worldview), you only nd2 have 1 drop and we see u as a whole.
If ur Māori - Your Māori!!
For example I'm half a Hula, half a Haka lol.
My Dad was Kuki Airani (Aititaki, Cook Islands) n my Mum is Māori (Rangitaane o Wairarapa/Ngaati Kahuungnu. 😉
So while I acknowledge and am fiercely proud of both sides of my whakapapa /lineage.
No matter which side of my whānau I'm with ... I feel whole n each, respectively!
Needless 2 say that Rarotonga was the last 'Port of Call' before our Waka came to Aotearoa
My sister sang this song. Wish she was still here. Died at a very young age after a complicated birth to her 6th Child. Rest in Love Cilz xoxo

I’m so sorry for your loss, I cannot imagine how hard it must of been to say goodbye to your sister, oh gosh this makes me want to give my big sis a big hug and tell her how much I love her, we always think we’ll have enough time with our loved ones and the heartache that comes when we don’t get that time 😞
And you say she sung this song? She must of had such a beautiful voice ♥️
✊💖
@@rainbowflowerpower4464 she did. She was a very good singer, even the whole street could hear her singing.
This is my favorite Maori song. I always listen to this especially when i travel. I am not a Maori. And neither do i have a Maori blood or relatives. But my fiance is a Maori and i just fell in love with the language when he introduced me to it. I loved this song so much that i actually know every words in it. So much love, all the way from Asia :)
It's not about the blood, though some would tell you it has to be. I'm not either but a kuia once asked me where I was from and I told her where I am descended from, which on both sides is not Maori. Her response was "Yes you are, 'cause I can see your Maori heart." That'll do me...
steve harris Wow you're last name kind of threw me. The Harris name has great significance to Nga Puhi. Maori is a European given name to blanket our IWI so to speak. We were and still call ourselves by our IWI. I think, if I was to give an analogy or, an explanation on what the word Maori means, to me would be a way of life, a way of living with all life, which has been taught to us by our Tupuna or Tipuna (ancestors) all things spiritual and physical, expected of us by our Gods, IWI and family. Maori a way of living. 🤔🙄😏✌
What's the meaning of this song
@Jacky Phantom what are you on about? Our ancestors came from Formosa/Taiwan to Papua New Guinea thousands of years ago (5000). Taiwanese natives are not east Asian looking either they are very dark skinned, kinda like (gasp) black people. And guess what, Papuans are black. Take that anti black racist line somewhere else please. Maori have always had dark skin, doesn't matter how mixed we are as well you are Maori and skin colour or phenotype does not negate that. My great grandparents were full blooded Maori and guess what, their skin was black, their hair was thick. Keep that blood quantum BS too because we see through that as well, it's just another way for colonisers to undermine our rights to ancestral lands and taonga. And if you knew anything about human migration or evolution, you'd realise that there is no such thing as a pure race.
@@slappytheknowscoper558 The meaning is to look after our oceans and what it has to offer.
Kia Ora my Maori brothers! Your music never fails to move my mana! ....Greetings from Canada!
Kia orana fellow members of Canada 🇨🇦 thank you for liking our culture and languages 🙏 ❤.

Kia Ora o Aotearoa
Kia ora bratha much love from New Zealand 💪🏼🤍
Kia ora bro. Arohanui mai i Aotearoa
My goodness her voice!!! 😍😍 even though I'm Samoan and don't understand a word of Maori, I feel so connected. I can't explain it lol
Us Polys are connected to each other after all ❤
For sure
You might like to watch Te Matarai i orehu tribute to the lives lost in Samoa
My sister loves this song
Tangaroa is our guardian of the sea he watches over those while at sea and as for the connection you feel my people originally came from the islands Maori are a group of islanders that came to New Zealand
Māori originally came to Aotearoa from Hawaiki which pretty much all people from across Polynesia can whakapapa (trace back to) so it makes sense you can feel the tūhononga (connection) ☺️
After listening to this consistently for a couple of months I learnt how to pronounce the lyrics and sang along to this song last night in front of my maori partner. He was so surprised and also a little impressed. I just wanted to be able to sing one of my favourite songs in its native language.
AWESOME MUSIC
Aww that's so cute love it this is my nephews favourite song ever he is mouri to
Ka pai e hoa.. well done
Better be careful, you may awaken his taniwha
❤
i swear Maōri Culture is the one of the most beautiful culture in the world. This makes me feel proud to be Polynesian
Kia Ora o Aotearoa
Maori is not beautiful it stupid. Japanese culture is more beautiful also it isn't violent here and people aren't doing drugs. Japanese are more friendly and are not thieves.
@@Lee-ji5sq Yes read the culture and the language it is beautiful! There is good and bad in everyone. Judge not and that will not be judged
I found this wonderful song after playing the game called 'Beyond Blue' and I fell in love!
10 years and I didn't know about this majestic song!
Thanks for gracing us with your voice!
I just started playing it. Was the first song i heard in the sub. Instantly liked it
Same 😍
This is what I play for my mother who has recently passed this Earth. I miss you mom.
love brother, it transcends. She's near.
One love
As a Samoan, I find that this song is both eerie and at the same time beautiful..I love the sound of Maisey Rika. Malo lava.
She is half Samoan Kia Ora e kare
I just can't stop listening this. Love the culture, the people, their entire being.
All the love from Hungary to the Maori people
DnDragon Gaming straight back at you from Aotearoa ✌
What are the odds . I'm also in Hungary
Vitvindics Márkó awwww we love use❤️
Also straight back from Rotorua
This is something I can understand and means so much to me. , John Tere'moana Green. from Honolulu USA. Currently in Northern California forest and sacred native Americana land. I feel like I can fly like a seagull there spiritually listening to this sound here. My mothers mother was Tahitian and my mother is from Tahiti. My grand father was Maori / Scottish, and he came from the north island of New Zealand. I have been praying to go there some day soon before I die to see new zealand and find family. This music is uplifting.
get on your bike my son, and come visit...we await you....
I couldn’t believe that this song was used in the announce trailer for beyond blue! Took me by surprise
It even is in the game!
^^^ fr
And me, beautiful choice 💕
i was browsing thru youtube and came across this. you and your culture is soo beautiful i am hawaiian and i feel like our culture is dead. and listening to this i feel soo happy to feel connected to your culture. aloha. -kapoli
Never dead! But I understand what you mean, as a Maori every little bit of our culture that is shared is precious to us. It's certainly not thriving and only some parts of the country can you witness it. Our language is spoken by so few now and I fear for the future of it, for our identity but it's not over. Be what you want to see, every single person helps.
PO Lee I’ve always wanted to go to Hawaii as a little girl, I don’t think it’s dead. At all. I was always jealous when my friends used to go. But I’m grateful to be living somewhere safe in New Zealand.
Aloha Po Lee , its your couzin Tyler ! Lolz .
PO Lee awww don't hate your culture we love each culture everybody has
PO Lee Kia ora
Her voice is so majestic. I will meet you soon, Aotearoa.
Kia ora from Malaysia.

Kia Ora! ❤️
Shes my auntie
I hope you made it here in aotearoa
As a pinay living in NZ, I feel much safer and more at home here than I had ever been... Was it the closeness of the culture and the fact that people are just so.. Caring? I've been wanting to learn this song because it makes me feel whole. A whole new me. Tena koe, kia kaha koutou (I'm practicing Te Reo, sorry if it sounds bad xD)
Kiaora ❤

SO BEAUTIFUL...THE SONG & MAISEY RIKA AS WELL...SOMETHING ABOUT A POLYNESIAN WOMAN SINGING A BEAUTIFUL SONG THAT HONORS OUR KUPUNA...JUST TOUCHES THE SOUL!!!
Kohala Iron Works in samoan its tagaloa
Yes Moesha, Tagaloa (Samoa), Ta'aroa (Tahiti), Kanaloa (Hawaii) and Tangaroa ('Avaiki & Aotearoa). Yep we are all one people, proud to be a Polynesian.
manuhamoa I’m a Maori boy born and raised in Aōtearoa and I can’t believe how natural it sounded pronouncing your guys versions of Tangaroa.
Kanaloa is our Hawaiian water god
To all the MAORIES,i am a SHRILANKEN what a beautyfull song so soothing i don't understand any words but makes me feel so free every time i listen to this song.So peaceful inside,mesmorized with the words and the voice.Thanks MAISEY RIKA. Please have more songs about the culture and the history of MAORI culture so beautyfull.
Lets not forget the Roots.********
I’m not Māori but my partner is and we have a 7 week old daughter together and from 2 weeks old when she is unsettled I came across this song and I played it it soothed her instantly and does soon as Maisey starts to sings
My 6 month will only fall asleep if this song is playing 🥰
I like this form rita ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It's a beautiful language, i'm a black girl from Belgium and i'm amazed by this language
Maori one of the most beautiful languages of the world
😊thank you
appreciate u.
I played this waiata (song) over and over and over when my grandmother passed away because it made me feel connected to her and helped to soothe my soul.
As a Pakeha who is learning this beautiful language, i am thankful to our kiwi artists who perform in te reo Maori, and challenge me to figure out the learning... to learn to korero Maori and understand the meaning in English as well...
I don't speak Te Reo, but I can still feel everything this beautiful song conveys. Music transcends language.
Makes me cry every single time. You have the most beautiful voice and speaking about our history and ancestry and how the ocean brought us to where we lived and made us who we are
I'm cook island Maori and love my language. And now I'm in New Zealand I've always wanted to learn New Zealand Maori. I'm glad I took new Zealand Maori as one of my subjects in school because it makes me proud to be a cook island Maori and also New Zealand Maori

Still dreaming of this beautiful country, of these intensive colours and this impression. Sometimes when I fall asleep I see this deep green of the forrest or the bright blue of the lakes or the Pacific Ocean or the icy glimmering of the glaciers in my dreams. Everything there was so colourful... I'm glad I've been to NZ for once in my life....

You don't need to be Maori to pay respects and help keep the culture alive, friend.
Tangaroa Whakamautai is about all our waterways leading into Tangaroa, being the god of the Ocean....about our ocean....our sea creatures as our guardian's. :) this song makes me cry its so beautiful xo

My Dad created some multimedia shows for Air New Zealand to promote tourism from the USA, way back in the late 70s; he spent a lot of time doing photography in NZ and eventually brought the whole family over to visit. He loved New Zealand, as well as Fiji, Tahiti, and Hawai'i, all places where he spent a lot of time. He recently passed away; but before he did, I spent time in hospice with him and played this hauntingly gorgeous song for him; it had a powerful impact on him, keeping him calm and steady in his last bit of time on this earth. I love this song as well (and video), but especially because it reminds me of my dad now.; can't stop playing it. Tēnā koe for your amazing creativity and ability to communicate to one's heart and soul, no matter their spoken language. ❤
Ataahua tō korero e hoa, may your dad rest in love

@@kinasandwich7624 thanks! I'll be searching for them. Does any of these artists ever tour the US? I'd love to see them live! Whats the best way to find translations for the language and the songs? I gotta say the Lady's, my Sistas, are killing it!!! If the language were English I'd swear they were any black church gospel choir. Super talented beautiful voices! Just the breath of fresh air that music needs right now, especially here in the US.
How are you sister? Hope you are well in the world. Oh and hope you found the Maori artist I suggested 😀
Daca Taíno! I am Taíno and have become to Aotearoa and it felt as if I was “Home”. Love the music and the beautiful amazing voice singing of the Maori People! Seneko kakona arohanui!

SO BEAUTIFUL...MADE ME CRY
Still feeling the vibes in 2017 xo
Me too...
2019 vibes still going on LOVE IT
Greetings from Indonesia!! This is such a captivating music 😀😀 Really much love and respect for all of you, Maoris 🤩🤩
I love this song, this is really beautiful as well as the language, the landscapes and the Maori people. Much love from Tahiti.
carat cute how are you from Tahiti but you don’t know Tahitians speak Maori - same bloodlines descendants from...ask any real Polynesian they will tell you.
@@alexiscolby9415 Bro' I'm from Tahiti as well and Tahitian is pretty different although we all know that we are cousins with any other islanders but we do not understand much except for some words which sound similar. Also I think that you didn't get message left by that person @caratcute .. he/she was simply praising how beautiful the Maori language is .. also where are you from ?
@@rainsnow4486 Um...sorry not a bro...Alexis is a girls name so....yeh. Second, we have some Tahitian friends mainly parents friends so they are elders and they understand most words when my Dad speaks Maori, its a different pronunciation is all. They can have conversations with my Dad although my Dad says they speak a faster pace but he can understand most words. There is a documentary on youtube where Pio Terei (a Maori reporter/tv host) goes to Rapa Nui (Easter Island) and can pretty much understand the locals there, Rapa Nui what is left of the language today is a type of dialect similar to Maori. I did get the message from caratcute and my comment still stands because I wrote it and Im entitled to it. Its common knowledge about our ancient ties and lineage so what I was alluding to was that this person may not be Tahitian but possibly French or something else. I am passionate about Polynesian histories and how a lot of this was bought about via colonization, as Polynesians there are things we collectively know, its innate. Also I'm from Aotearoa, East Coast of the North Island, Iwi is Ngati Porou.
@@alexiscolby9415 I'm also passionate about my culture and the whole Polynesian culture as well and I don't think I need to know more from you. Concerning caratcute I will not speak for him like you did by saying that he/she might be French because ... I don't know that person, then why are you doing a big deal by mentioning Rapa nui? .. if you're really a maori then you should be proud that this person said that you guys have a beautiful language instead of replying some unnecessary arguments leading to misunderstandings. Also I maintained what I said, your language might have similar words but it's not really the same as Tahitian but I do agree that it came from the same roots, the Paumotu maybe is closer to the Maori language.
@@alexiscolby9415 Ma'ohi mā e, Ta'ata tahiti ma, 'a hi'o nae tera ta'ata, ta'ahoa to'a parau e parau fa'ahau, fa'ararahi noa aita ra 'e faufa'a e tama'i no te mea ho'e noa tatau. Now tell me if you can understand then I will leave you the last word.
I'm preparing my trip to NZ, since now I love your music !!
Genial...you will love NZ

How was you trip?
this has to be one if not the most beautiful Maori song i have ever heard in my entire life. She makes me want to go to New Zealand, marry a Maori and become a New Zealander
She is one of the very few Maori singers that sings in te reo Maori. It's awesome to see that non-Maori enjoy songs in our language :)
yeh i totally love this song even though i dont understand the words i also support nz Maoris to sing in their native language
+flavio de carvalho That's awesome to hear :) only 4% of the Maori people are fluent in our language. People like Maisey Rika really encourage us to embrace it
kool i wish i had some Maori friends most new zealanders ive met are white
Really? Where did you meet them?
2020 anyone?
Yes
Yep
Yea! And this feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeels so gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood!
No im not

Such a beautiful song and opportunity to learn and feel the love and spirit of our ancestor Tagaroa. This song was part of a recent dream I had which helped me to name my youngest son who just so happened to be born a few hours ago on December 1st, 2022. His name Kanaloaakawaimapunaoha’ena or Kanaloa who dealt fresh spring water of Ha’ena (located on Kaua’i island). Mahalo nui sister for sharing your amazing talent.
i was at the manurewa fleamarket last sunday and this song drifted over the whole market and drew me to its source , a guy selling CDs i said what the ??? who the ??? how the ??? and he said its Maise Rika i had to buy the CD and its a morning ritual in my Van i now sing its chorus and reference the lyrics on the inlay CD cover absolutely amazing , Moana the movie certainly missed the opportunity but hey wasnt meant to be . fakaue lahi mahaki e leo haau ma Maisey.
Of all languages, it's Maori that intrigues me the most!
I'm glad my Maori ancestors fought for keeping their rights, to speak Maori where and whenever they want, contrary to what my Pakeha ancestors wanted.
(help, my family tree is clashing with itself! LOL )
Youre not alone!
This song brings me to tears…I’m Filipina, so I really don’t understand the language, but it speaks to my soul.❤
2024 anyone? 🩵
Aquí , y llorando por esta hermosa canción e interpretación ❤😢 , majestuosa❤
This song is so awesome..
Best regards from West Papua
I do wish I carried some of this beautiful culture in my veins. Many kind regards NZ and Maoris, from California. I will visit you some day soon!
A late reply, but welcome to our land. When that day comes consider it home to you.
Tena koe

Finally after sooo many years of waiting, going to the Far North next month! Woot Hoot! Looking forward to embracing some Maori heritage first hand.
Beyond Blue helped me find this wonderful piece of art- just amazing! SZ
I listened to this so so so so many times so far. Discovered it 2017, few months after I was back from my 14 months travel journey through Australia, Fiji and Tongatapu. What a journey. I become so emotional when I listen to this song and feel such a deep connection with your language Te mau a Tangaroa Te mau a Tangaroa. Your language is so beautiful. 🥰😍🥰I hope I visit one day Tangaroa and learn about your culture. Cheers from Croatia
This is an absolutely beautiful song. Greetings from the states.
She's amazing and to everyone wondering what this is about its about honoring our lands ,gods , language ❤️💕🌞
The music and the video are so beautiful.
Maori music and language is so beautiful, I get chills every time I hear it. What an amazing people and history. I hope to visit someday. Much respect!
This is soothing for the soul, our Tangaroa traditions here in Samoa and across the globe strive to bring our spirituality back, we are NOT religious people but spiritual ones. Tangaroa makes us in tune with every living thing around us. Thank you for this beautiful rendition
My mum passed wen I was 6 she was from South island this song always makes me feel connected to her in some way never known was it sed before lyrics but always felt the connected to this song somehowe spirituality
I've always listening to this by the beach cause I believe this song brings us closer somehow
I was pregnant with my son when this song came out when he was born he would stop crying, listen then next minute he would be fast asleep.. turns out 6 years later he still loves this song so much
My son's the samr
bula from FIJI.... This is a lovely and moving song!!!
I don't even remember how I got here but thank the gods because this is one of the most Beautiful things I've ever experienced
Cashiba camrin thank you for you’re positive feedback I’m glad you enjoyed this video, it’s basically talking about how we have connections to the Sea ( if you’re wondering ) 😂
One of the best songs I have ever heard. Aetheral music and Maori language so delicate to my ears. Maori people, do not ever give up. Keep your language and traditions alive from generation to generation. Teach the younger, teach the whole world the way to live with harmony and respect on mother Earth. Greetings from Athens Greece.
we're doing our best, and as long as we have Jacinda, our small country will be a model for the rest of the world...
Kia ora from a proud Maori woman living in Brisbane Australia but never forgetting where I come from. My beautiful home. Aotearoa 🥰. The land of the long white cloud 😇
@@shelleymiddlebrook1265 Kia Ora Shelley!
Aoteroa is a wonderful place! A Manaia pounamu I wear on my neck from the river of this land, reminds me the beauty of nature and also protect my footsteps!
Nga Mihi Shelley!
Listened to this song twice everyday for the whole month of December 2018 after finding out my little cousin had such little time to live and it has forever stuck with me since. Rest peacefully my beautiful cousin 22-12-2018 💙💙💙
kia orana maisey our language is beauitful keep up the big work kai pai maisey
We all have a duty to bring forth our light, especially in times like now. I believe all people are turning back to their roots, their natural environment, their families, to the basics, to love and be loved and spread this to the world. Maisey never stop doing what you do. You are a light for so many. Thank you much aroha to you and yours
Just discovered this through a friend from Ni'ihau on a video documenting journey with Hawaiians. The inter connectivity of the Pacific peoples throughout the Pacific is something that fascinates me. Listenin to this in the car with my Niihauan friend reminiscing the year I spent in Aotearoa gave me chicken skin at how full circle all these unique island cultures are. I plan to traverse the Pacific again in 2024 to document some more and cant wait to dive even deeper into these similarities. aloha nui ❤
Maiden Tim’s was the first Maori artist I listened to and I have fell in love with the Maori language and culture, and 8 years in I’m always in love with s Maori culture🙏🏾
I tried to search famous Maori songs... CZcams brought me here and this is really really good music!!!
Denz Bermillo what a cool thing to search on CZcams
There's heaps of famous Maori songs. Like Hine e Hine, Poi E, Kohahitanga and Pokarekare ana
