Taringa - Ep 140 - Special Feature - Anzac 2020

This tribute kōrero is not just about our Soldiers that went to war, but also about those at home who held down the Whānau and Iwi roots and adjusted their Tikanga while watching their world change around them. Our Kīwaha o te wiki is "kei raro e putu ana" (I'm not doing too well, I've hit rock bottom) Here are the lyrics for our Waiata o te wiki:   Ngā Whare Pa Verse 1: Powhiritia a nga morehu Te iwi, tangihia Te mamae e, me te pouri nui Tenei ra kua mahea Chorus: Hoki mai ra! Hoki mai ra ki te kaianga E tatari atu nei ki a koutou Nga tau roa i ngaro atu ai. E aroha e ngau kino nei i ahau Verse 2: Ngā whare pa tenei huakina Te iwi kia koa Kua hoki mai nga tamariki toa Ki te ao ora   TRANSLATION: Welcome home the survivors. All of you who have been mourning The inward grief, and great mourning today is cleared away.     Welcome home!   Welcome back to the village   that has been waiting for you.   Long years you have been gone. Sorrow   has gnawed within me.     Open wide the doors of our homes Everybody rejoice The brave boys have returned to the world of (normal) life.
