Cook Islands Māori Welcome Song
Kia orana! Kia orana!
Means "Hello!" Means "Hello!"
Pe’ea koe? Pe’ea koe?
Means "How are you?" Means "How are you?"
Meitaki ma’ata. Meitaki ma’ata.
Means “Very well, thank you.” “Very well, thank you.”
(Repeat x 2)
It's time to learn te reo Māori Kuki 'Airani today.
It's time to learn the Cook Islands language today.
