Lyrics: Ko te ata māhina Ata tuhi, ata rapa Maiea te putanga o Tamanuiterā Ko te ata hāpara Mahea te pō Ka ao, ka awatea Ki te whaiao, ki te ao mārama Kōrihi te manu Kōki te oro Ko te ata pō Te kōpara e kō ake i te ata Ka ao, ka awatea Ki te whaiao, ki te ao mārama (Hui e, tāiki e)

I just had my son 5 days ago. His father had liked the name Te Ata Māhina since the beginning of my pregnancy with him as this is one of his favour waiatas. The night of his birth there was a full moon and time of birth so close to the dawn. We named him Te Ata Māhina x
I'm a God - fearing person. I love God but I can't figure this out... I can barely understand this song; but I know that it is worship in a high form to the Most High
Well that's all well and good but fuck god. This comes from balance - mother and father. Not the blood thirsty, mass murdering dictator that is east and west's G.O.D.
