Waiata

NMIT generally uses three waiata during our formal ceremonies:

  • E toru nga mea
  • Hutia te rito
  • Te Aroha
  • National Anthem
The following short films are available to help you learn these songs. They are peformed by Kim Hippolite, NMIT's Kaitakaweanga Maori and students from our Diploma in Arts and Media (Contemporary Music) programme.

 
 E Toru Nga Mea
 
 Hutia te Rito
 
 Te Aroha
Te Aroha

Te Aroha

Te Whakapono

Me te rangimarie

Tātou, tātou e

 

He Tangata kē koutou

He Tangata kē matou

Engari I tēnei wā

Tātou, tātou e

 

National Anthem

E Ihowa, Atua

O Ngā Iwi Mātou rā

Āta Whakarongonga

Me aroha noa.

Kia hua ko te pai

Kia tau tō atawhai

Manaākitia mai

Aotearoa

 

God of nations at Thy feet

In the bonds of love we meet

Hear our voices, we entreat

God defend our free land

Guard Pacific‘s triple star

From the shafts of strife and war

Make our praises heard afar

God defend New Zealand

  

Hutia

Hutia te rito

Hutia te rito ō te harakeke

Kei whea te kōmako e ko

Kī mai ki ahau

He aha te mea nui

He aha te mea nui i te ao?

Māku ē kī atu

He tangata, he tangata, he tangata hei!


E toru ngā mea

E toru ngā mea

Ngā mea nūnui

E kī ana

Te Paipera

Whakapono

Tūmanako

Ko te mea nui

Ko te aroha
