Call the Hands, Call the Hands, Call the Hands - tautoko and aroha for Laney and Janey

He Aituā, he aituā

Kua hinga te tōtara haemata o Te Wao nui-a-Tāne a Delane Poihipi

Kua riro tō tātou whānaunga, kaihoe, heramana tūturu i a taitimu, I ā Hine nui-te-pō. I te ata nei, I hinga ia i tāna whawhai mate manawa, nā kua wehe atu ia i te ao kikokiko nei ki ōna tini whanaunga, ki ōna mātua tūpuna, ki tōna Matua ā Noel Poihipi, ki te ao wairua - okioki atu ai.

Ka huri ngā whakaaro ki tōna whānau e noho pani ana I tēnei wā, Ko te whānau Joseph, te whānau Poihipi, ko te whānau Kakahi, ko tōna whaiāipo a Janey Kakahi, tōna whaea a Pena Poihipi, tōna tuakana a Juddy Anths Jud Poihipi, tōna teina a Shan Poihipi rātou ko tōna tuahine a Dallas Poihipi. Ka ora tonu ia i tāna tamahine a Dillan Amoroa

The vigorous Tōtara of the forest has fallen. Our beloved brother, seasoned sailor has been taken too soon from us and has lost his battle with heart condition. He has now began his journey to join his ancestors and father Noel Poihipi, rest easy our brother.

Our brother Delane, you were one of a kind
