Love this song. Nan made sure we learned this one. We never grew up on the east coast. But Akuaku was her Turangawaewae and she wanted us to remember who we are.
Sharing a memory nobody asked for: My aunty and I use to sing this every night without fail everytime I visited. A week before she passed, we sang this song. Tis is the first time I came back to look or even listen to it. I miss you my aunty Toni Ngaronoa 💙
Love this song 🎵 to all ngati porou whanau from the east coast we are renowned for song , poi , chants , haka , to much east coast best coast ngati porou ❤x
Im apakura, urunumia an if i search i can find my ngati porou, tetairawhiti whakapapa.This waiata is just so humbling it takes your soul back to precious whanau times wen they were all still with us
I come here to listen to this when I'm missing my grandad, Syd Gudgeon. Absolutely love it. Makes me feel closer to him.. Tears streaming at the moment haha. ❤️❤️❤️

Went back to the TikiTiki School 125th Jubilee - Awesome 4 days. Just brilliant to be back on home soil and to meet up with school friends from 50 years ago. Just the best. The waiata sung over the weekend were great.
Love this song, first time ever I visited the east coast of the North Island was over Xmas and New Year was fantastic and will visit this part of the Island again for sure. I traveled this trip on my own so now I can do and go anywhere ❤❤

Ko Waiapu te Awa Ngati Porou te iwi Ko Waiapu te Awa Ngati Porou te iwi Taku manawa ko te Tairawhiti Taku manawa ko te Tairawhiti Kei konei taku kainga Taku Whanau hoki Kei konei taku kainga Taku Whanau hoki Taku Aroha ko te Tairawhiti Taku Aroha ko te Tairawhiti Tu mai ra Hikurangi Me to mana rangatira Tenei ahau to Mokopuna Ko te Tairawhiti Ko te Tairawhiti Ko te Tairawhiti Tu mai ra Hikurangi Me to mana rangatira Tenei ahau to mokopuna Ko te Tairawhiti Ko te Tairawhiti Ko te Tairawhiti.
ae ataahua te waiata nei. ka hoki nga mahara ki tetahi o oku hoa mahi no te tairawhiti. i tona waa o te ora nana i waiatatia e tenei waiata. no reira taku rangatira e Stan Dewes moe mai ra i tou moenga roa..
Kia Ora. OK - I'm just gonna say it. This is one of my favourite waiata, engari, I'm not to "up there" with some of the photos displayed where the beersies are shown, especially with te pepe having a couple of stubbies of Lion Red in their arms. WTF?!?!?.. This waiata is about who we are as an iwi and where we are from AND MOST importantly our pride in being MĀORI. Some of the photos with the beersies in them are NOT what this waiata is all about.....and to see it come up as one of the most popular search results for this waiata - is an insult to not only the composer of this waiata (Kahu Waitoa), but also to our iwi Māori. Yes, a lot of us do enjoy a drop or two (three or four or more with others), but this is NOT what we, as te iwi Māori, are! Ko Waiapu te awa - The river is Waiapu Ko Ngāti Porou te iwi - The tribe is Ngāti Porou. Ko Waiapu te awa - The river is Waiapu Ko Ngāti Porou te iwi - The tribe is Ngāti Porou. Tāku manawa, Ko Te Tai Rawhiti - The East Coast is my heart. Tāku manawa, Ko Te Tai Rawhiti - The East Coast is my heart. Hei konei tāku kainga, tāku whānau hoki - Here is my home and also my family. Hei konei tāku kainga, tāku whānau hoki - Here is my home and also my family. Tāku aroha, Ko Te Tai Rawhiti - The East Coast is my love (I love the East Coast) Tāku aroha, Ko Te Tai Rawhiti - The East Coast is my love (I love the East Coast). Tū mai rā Hikurangi - Hikurangi stands here Me tōu mana rangatira - And your esteemed respect. Tēnei ahau, ko mokopuna - This is I, your grandchild/descendant Ō Te Tairawhiti - Of the East Coast.
Tena koe, I agree with you of the pic in the Pepi holding the beersies .its a lovely waiata , n yes its about our people our whenua our culture , respect should be before beer n consideration as to who see it . I'm of ngapuhi , ngatihine of the north . n we do not display that of our cherished mokopuna that's not wot the beer is for wtf ! ! ! But is a lovely waiata , I have connections to ngati porou of our ancestor Tu TeRangi Whiu , his daughter Heeni Whetu is my great grandmother hailed from Toloega bay... She too would agree .... Just wanted to say ..thank you god bless 😇🙏 peace to all .kia ora
I think this is actually a tribute to someone who has passed away, so that’s probably why there are pics of beers. I could be wrong though, anyway, I do agree. Alcohol is banned on some maraes now up in rangitukia which is the best decision I think! Don’t need that crap when u coming home. Go else where to get lit yah xx
Ae true that. Rahui is alcohol free too. If there's drinking to be done it's off to the RSA we do go. Proud to be from Tikitiki and 1st cousin to David and Kahu. Po marie, stay safe. 💙
Beautiful song for my darling husband leonzio🇮🇹 and Betty🇳🇿our son Paddy for his baptism soon back home in my dad's home town in the sea😇 kia ora 💕🎄🇳🇿🇮🇹
this song reminds us of our lovely wife,mum aunty and nan heaps of memories up the mighty ngati porou miss you heaps love you always till we meet again sleep well xxxxx
Lyrics to Taku Manawa Ko Waiapu te Awa. Ko Ngati Porou te iwi. Ko Waiapu te Awa Ko Ngati Porou te iwi Taku Manawa ko te Tairawhiti. Taku manawa kei konei taku kainga, Taku Whanau hoki Taku Manawa ko te Tairawhiti. Taku manawa kei konei taku kainga, Taku Whanau hoki Taku Aroha ko te Tairawhiti Taku Aroha ko te Tairawhiti Tu mai ra Hikurangi me to mana rangatira. Tenei ahau to Mokopuna. Ko te Tairawhiti Ko te Tairawhiti Ko te Tairawhiti Tu mai ra Hikurangi Me to mana rangatira Tenei ahau to mokopuna Ko te Tairawhiti Ko te Tairawhiti Ko te Tairawhiti.
