about

Manu Koroki (Small Island mix)
Small Island Big Song ft' Horomona Horo & Waimihi Hotere

For our remaining indigenous forests
Horomona & Waimihi recorded Manu Koroki in what is a completely indigenous forest and wildlife habitat in Aotearoa. This song is dedicated to those protecting the world’s last strands of native forest. You are the heroes we will celebrate in the future.

lyrics

Tui, tui tuituia
tuia i te here tangata ka rongo te ao ka rongo te po...
tuia i te kawai tangata i heke mai
i Hawaiki Nui, Hawaiki Roa, Hawaiki Pamamao

Iere..... iere..... iere
Hui e..... taiki e!!!


Thread, thread, bind together
thread the strands of people, to sense the day and night...
thread the ceremony of people that have descended from
Our ancestral homelands

Iere..... iere..... iere (Sound out the call)
Join together..... Unite!!!
