Haramai e te Tau

Come then to me for great is my love, come to me.

- Haere mai rā ki ahau nei rā te aroha tino nui, haere mai.

 

Piwakawaka fly toward each other, calling out “Haramai e te tau, homai te kihi - Come here my darling, give me a kiss!” This print captures love, romance, playfulness, and the joy of being together in a way that’s both fun and heartfelt. Fantails are messengers of connection and communication — always flitting close, always bringing energy and life. Here, they become sweet messengers of aroha.

It’s a lovely gift for a partner, a newly in-love couple, or anyone you want to send a little playful, joyful love to.

The words “Haere mai rā ki ahau, nei rā te aroha tino nui, haere mai…” come from the song 'Tahi Nei Taru Kino' by Paraire Tomoana, a playful waiata about the joys and excitement of new love.
