This song speaks to me, somehow! In the caption of the song, it speaks about 'encouraging ones belief in their natural instinct or spirit" and that is the actually meaning of Wairua!
Here are the lyrics, check it out!
Ka rāngona ana te wairua
Ko hiako ka hīnawanawa
E kore rawa e tūwhera
ki te kore e rāngona
Te tauronarona o roto
ānō nei he waikare i te whatumanawa
E kōrengarenga ana tēnei puna
Kei a koe te tikanga anei rā te waiora
Chorus:
Te wairua, tukuna ki te ao
Te wairua, tukuna kia rere
Te wairua 2x
He mea whakaawe
Waiho mā wairua koe e kawe
Ēngari te ngaringari i te kore
Ahakoa he iti, he pounamu
Ehara rawa i te ōkiko, ēngari rā, he hononga
Te tauronarona o roto
ānō nei he waikare i te whatumanawa
E kōrengarenga ana tēnei puna
Kei a koe te tikanga anei rā te waiora
Chorus:
Te wairua, tukuna ki te ao
Te wairua, tukuna kia rere
Te wairua 2x
He mea whakaawe
Waiho mā wairua koe e kawe
Winawina tātou
Na mata i mea
Taupī, Taupā
Katikati mōu rā
Ka puta nei koe nā, hā! 2x
Takahia paki te pitipiti paki
ki te paopao paki te pitipiti paki
Hei tama, tū tama rā, 2x
Takahia paki te pīti pīti paki
ki te MAIMOA paki te pīti pīti paki
Hei tama, tū tama rā, (hā) 2x
Chorus:
Te wairua, tukuna ki te ao
Te wairua, tukuna kia rere
Te wairua 2x
He mea whakaawe
Waiho mā wairua koe e kawe x3
HWAIRUA...'

Wow this is lovely song. I like the lyrics too. Just this morning I was singing Toro mai to my cousin who lives in Kerikeri and she said they sang the song when they went to camp up here too. It is a Nga Puhi greeting song so fitting as we will be up north in the Nga Puhi area for camp.
That's so splendid, we have a terrific greeting/action song to sing! I can't wait for camp. Have great fun in Kerikeri.
