Ki-o-Rahi+Waiata

// It was Rahi Tutaka hina // // That presented this poitoa // // To Whanawhana, the Patupaiarehe chief // // And said, Love for your fellow man is a most prestigious treasure // // They sat together, ate together // // And produced the game of Ki-a-Rahi // // About Ti Arakua-pake-wai // // Tawhiri’s breath arrives // // And then the mists sits // // As a peaceful sign // // For all Iwi // // To remember Rahi’s pursuit //
 * Te ki a Rahi **
 * Na Rahi-Tutaka-hina **
 * I tana poitoa kua hoatu **
 * Ki te rangatira, ko Whanawhana **
 * He taonga rongonui te aroha ki te tangata (repeat x2 at the end) **
 * CHORUS **
 * Ka noho kotahi ka kai **
 * Ka puta mai, te Ki-a-Rahi e aue **
 * Mo Ti Arakura-pake-wai-e **
 * BRIDGE **
 * Ka tae mai te ha a Tawhirimatea **
 * A ka tupua te kohu **
 * He tohu rangimarie **
 * Mo nga iwi katoa **
 * Kia maumahara i ta Rahi aruranga **
