Translation for Ngoi Ngoi

E te tau o ta-ku a-te e
Ha-ru-ru kau a-na
Te ra-nga-ta-hi ta-ka-tū nei e
Ki te hā-pai i nga ma-hi e
A Ngoi e
Wha-ka-ro-ngo ki te reo
Maori e.

Ki te pa-kō a te poi
A Ngoi e
Ki te ta-ka-hi ta-ma ma
A Ngoi e
Ki te mi-ta o te Reo.

Ata-ahu-a Ngoi
NGOI NGOI
Nga-kau ma-ri-e
NGOI NGOI
Wha-ka-po-no Ngoi
NGOI NGOI
Tau pu-mau NGOI


You're our bosom friend
always going full throttle
to help this younger generation
with the task
Oh Ngoi
of listening to the
Maori language.

In the thudding of the poi
Oh Ngoi
in the men's stamping
Oh Ngoi
in the rhythm of our language.

Beautiful Ngoi
NGOI NGOI
with a heart of gold
NGOI NGOI
Dedicated Ngoi
NGOI NGOI
Our constant friend NGOI
