Tiaho Mai
Ngoi Pēwhairangi - 1950
‘Tiaho Mai’ was composed by Ngoi in the 1950s. She reminds us of the importance of peace, tranquillity and the power of God, to whom we should give thanks for the many gifts he has given to mankind, and she writes that through our strong faith in God, we are able to conquer all obstacles
Maori lyrics
Tiaho mai te maramaHei māramatanga rā eMō ngā tamariki Māori e tau neiHāpainga the whakapono rā eTaupokitia te kinoKia tau ai te rangimārieNō reira e Te Matua RawaToro iho mai ō ringaKauparetia atu te kinoAhakoa ngā taupatuO ngā tini takawaengaKaua rawa tātou katoa e tautokoKōkiritia ngā tūmanakoKia kore e tutukiNgā mahi hē mō te iwi Māori eNō reira e Te Matua RawaToro iho mai ō ringaKauparetia atu te kinoKauparetia atu te kino
