Tūtira Mai Ngā Iwi - Lyrics Video - Waiata Māori Song

Canon Wi Huata composed the song "Tūtira Mai Ngā Iwi" during a family gathering at Lake Tūtira, north of Napier. He shared its significance with his children, narrating how this location symbolised unity among the iwi or tribe in the past. After World War 2, he employed this song as a means to advocate for unity among diverse cultures. Tūtira Mai Ngā Iwi has gained in popularity particularly at sporting events as another New Zealand anthem.

This version of Tūtira Mai Ngā Iwi is performed by the Hono Collective featuring Hikawai Te Nahu.

Lyrics:
Tūtira mai ngā iwi
Line up together people
Tātou, tātou e
All of us, all of us
Tūtira mai ngā iwi
Line up together people
Tātou, tātou e
All of us, all of us
Whāia te māramatanga
Seek after knowledge
Me te aroha, e ngā iwi!
And love of others - everybody!
Kia tapatahi
Be united
Kia kotahi rā.
Be as one
Tātou, tātou e.
All of us, all of us

Tūtira mai ngā iwi
Line up together people
Tātou, tātou e
All of us, all of us
Tūtira mai ngā iwi
Line up together people
Tātou, tātou e
All of us, all of us
Whāia te māramatanga
Seek after knowledge
Me te aroha, e ngā iwi!
And love of others - everybody!
