The Seven Canoes
Traditional Maori Song

Nga waka e whitu
E tau nei
Hoea, hoea ra
Tainui, Te Arawa, Mataatua
Hoea, hoea ra
Takitimu, Tokomaru, Kaurahaupo,
Me Aotea ra
Nga waka enei i hoea mai
E o tatau tupuna.


Translation:

The seven canoes
Before us
R
ow, row
Tainui, Ta Arawa, Mataatua,
Row, row
Takitimu, Tokomaru, Kurahaupo
and Aotea
These are the canoes
That our ancestors rowed on.
