MATARIKI
Seven sisters E whitu tuahine
Korero Korero
To me from Ki ahau I
The heavens Ko te rangi
Rangi nui Rangi nui
Traditional celebrations Whakanui traditional
When they A no te ratou
Appear in Puta i roto
The rangi po ko te po rangi
Dissolve at ata tareka i ata
Mesmerising Mesmerising
Tae rawa from Rawa color i
The heavens Ko te rangi
E matakitaki ana E matakitaki ana
How they Kia peha te ratou
Came to be Haere mai ki te kai
A ngaro He ngaro
A purakau He purakau
An mutunga way He ara mutunga
A hakari He hakari
Of mahara O te mahara
A hakari He hakari
Of hoatu O te hoatu

Nice writing Ollie. I like the way you blend the Te Reo and English together. I love the line, 'mesmerising Tae rawa from the heavens'. Keep writing Ollie. Mr W
