Matawaia 

I am still singing this in 2024 as a reminder to me and my generation of children, "Where we are from" never forget my roots 💙

I'm from the island of Tokelau married to a beauty Maori sweet lady from mahia. And man I love this beautiful waiata. Awesome song whanau arohanui💚❤💛

I grew up in Kawakawa late 60's, 70's, and left early 80's to see the world Now I live in Australia. I play this song, Always, remembering all my beautiful friends from Matawaia, Otiria, Moerewa...bless you all

kia ora tatou te whanau o Nga puhi ko Cyril hohepa Panoho taku ingoa ko Nga puhi taku iwi ko Ngatiueoneone taku hapu ko Puhangatohora te maunga ko Punakitere te awa ko Rahiri me te Patuoneone te tupuna rangitira ko Okorihi te Marae Ka mau te wehe !!!

If you here this song at a party in Moerewa you know there’s heaps of beers.

NGATI HINE HARD!! HORI RO GEORGE KOPA IS MY GRANDFATHER FROM MATAWAIA.

Matawaia was the first Marae I ever went to. I lived in Maromaku and spent quite a lot of time in Matawaia with a friend from there. This brought back a lot of good memories and made the hair on my arms stand up. Love it

Being in Te Waipounamu makes me mokemoke for Taitokerau,,,, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful 💜💙💛

I LOVE YOU *MATAWAIA KI NGATIHINE* Love from AucklandCity

Nga mihi koutou katoa whanau such a inspiring Waiata as a Ngatihine descendant. I was told by my father his mother Huria Hoterene Kopa koha the whenua for our Matawaia Marae.

kia ora whanaunga Ko eva Murray toku ingoa. No matawaia ahau. He whanau ahau no nga Pekama me Nga kopa. Ko Andy Murray raua ko Meni Murray (Kopa) oku tupuna. na raua i whakapuare i te Kohanga Reo o Matawaia. Love ur songs cuzin. Listen to them all the time...

It brings tears to my eyes listening to this song so much memories as a child. My name is Rahiri Cooper my grandad name is Tehira Pani Cooper and my nana is Stella Dawn Cooper (blondy) known by many kaumatua and whaea. The day Tehira died was a massive heart aech for me as i didnt find out untill the day before he was buried i wasnt able to make it to matawaia until 1:30 pm the next day as i am living in hamilton. The part that hurt me the most was that i wasbt able to make it.

Kaka whanau up in here 💯 matawaia will always be my home, been rocking this song since the 2000’s with cuzzys would love to get a hold of this album if anyone has a copy of it

Kia ora, My Whanau is from matawaia, My dad is well known, his name is Hare Kopa also goes by Charlie or Papa Hare, the man singing this is his nephew an the lady is his step sister, I recently gave this song to my tamariki's song for some Maori assignment they were doing an they they loved it as they have never heard anything like this before, beautiful waiata always will be ❤️

Glad to finally find this song this is my dad favourite song down the line -tana ngakoti from New Zealand

Matua huaki puanaki was my kapahaka tutor at aranui high down in otautahi from 2000 to 2004 his mum whaea tihi and his papa matua wiremu was also my teachers

This waiata still takes me back to the early 2000 always and loved Jim Rapatini

Did my schooling there, traveled on bus from Moerewa. Still remember almost everyone who went during my time.

Kiaora tangata O te whenua koe tene reweti o matawaia Taku kotreoa the ingoa a matawaia no tears kupe O Nana mangu O matawaia
