OFFICIAL VIDEO: Waiaroha (feat. Maisey Rika)
By: Rob Ruha
This waiata speaks of the changing nature in relationships between lovers. It metaphorically expresses the journey of life and love through the symbol of a fern leaf on a river. At times the leaf is at the mercy of turbulent rapids and rushing water, other times its excited by the swift currents or caressed by the deeper, calm spots in the river. All currents eventually flowing towards the sea: the symbol of boundless unity.

Verse 1
Maringi noa ngā roimata
Kahu ai te pōuri
Pokepokea mai te māramatanga
O ngā whetū
Pre-chorus
Wai ka ripo, wai ka huri te rau aruhe
Aue, pupū - hihī
Mirimiri te rau aruhe
[E] tanuku i ngā waipuke
Chorus
Wai aroha rere tōtika
Rere tika ki te moana
Waiho ngā pikotanga
Kia aio te rere, te rere
Kaua e papaki kino e wai
I ngā pari e tāwharau nei
Te aruhe taku rau taonga
Wai-aroha, wai-marino
Verse 2
Hikina te pō; haruru te ao, haruru te wai
I nga kōawa o aku mahara
Pōraruraru noa
Pre-Chorus , Chorus
Bridge
Taupatupatu, pōteretere te rau aruhe
Kati te kō e wai
I te rau e whana nei e koe
Chorus
