SONG LYRICS:

Ko Matariki te kaitō i te hunga pakeke ki te pō
Matariki draws the frail into the night
Matariki hunga nui
Matariki of many people
Hauhake tū, ka tō Matariki
The harvest ends when Matariki sets

Matariki, oh, Matariki
It’s the Māori New Year
Te Mātahi o te Tau x2

Whakamaumahara, let’s remember... our loved ones gone before us
Whakanui, let’s celebrate with our whānau... have some kai, and a kanikani
Whakariterite, let’s prepare... sow some seeds, set some goals, look ahead
Whakamaumahara – Whakanui – Whakariterite, aue!

CHORUS

Twinkling in the winter sky, just before dawn
Matariki signals the Māori New Year, Te Mātahi o te Tau
A time together with friends and whanau, to remember, celebrate and prepare
Whakamaumahara – Whakanui – Whakariterite, aue!

CHORUS

Whakamaumahara – Whakanui - Whakariterite x3
