poi

Kiwi Songs - Maori songs - Home

This is performed as part of a poi routine by Maori dance groups.

Kotiro Maori,
Hei ha hei
E poi atu nei
Hei ha hei

E ma-taki-taki ko te iwi pakeha

Whatiwhati tou hope
Hei ha hei
Whatiwhati tou hope
Hei ha hei 		Maori girl,
hei ha hei
Twirl your poi,
hei ha hei

The tourists are watching you.

Swing your hips
Hei ha hei
Swing your hips
Hei ha hei.
