Our New Kapahaka Song Rocks!!!

We have had a number of requests for the English translation of our new Kapahaka song. This song has been dedicated to the year 6 students who are leaving us this year. The tune is to "Moves like Jagger" by Maroon 5


Hei konei ra                         Bye
e hoa ma                              friends
E haere atu                           going to
ki etahi                                 other
kura aaaaaaaaaaa                 schools

E mokemoke                            We will be lonely
matou
e hoa ma                                    friends but
kia kaha                                     be strong
kia maia kia toa kia mana         be confident, be brave, and have prestige.


Chorus

kaua  eware ware koutou            Don’t worry
he aha o akonga                        what have you learn't
he kanikani                                to dance
he katakata                                to laugh
whaia te iti kahuuu rangi e        to strive for excellence.
