The waiata I have chose is called te aho mai ra. This is a very nice waiata. I was going to choose Poi E or Tutira mai nga iwi. I chose te aho mai ra because the lyrics are very graceful. There were a heap of songs to chose but te aho mai ra was the best for me. If I was to rate is from 1st - 3rd it will be, Tiaho Mai ra 1st - Poi E 2nd , Tutira mai nga iwi 3rd. You can search these waiata's on google. Here is a link if you want to listen to the waiata -

The lyrics of this waiata is:
Tiaho mai rā Te whetu o te ata Kopu i te ao, Pareārau i te pō Ka tu te ao marama he ao hara Tu mai rā koe hei tohu i ahau, Tu mai rā koe hei tohu i ahau,
E kore te aroha, E kaupare noa Hoki mai rā ki ahau, e te tau. Hoki mai rā ki ahau, e te tau.
Tiaho mai rā Te whetu o te ata Kopu i te ao, Pareārau i te pō Ka tu he o marama he ahara Tu mai rā koe hei tohu i ahau, Tu mai rā koe hei tohu i ahau |
Hi Fau,

Great work! I like how you have picked a top three. It can be tricky to just pick one favourite!
This is beautiful waiata. Good choice! I wonder what the lyrics mean. Could you translate them into English to help me understand? I only know a little Maori so can pick up on words sometimes but would love to know what the whole thing meant!
Cheers,
Ruby.
