"Poi E" is an album released by New Zealand Māori culture group the Patea Maori Club in 1982.

Dalvanius Prime, the album's producer and leader, was known for merging the styles of traditional Maori show bands and more recent Maori hip-hop. In the early 1990s, "Poi E" was produced as a Maori musical with additional songs, and in 2000, selections were performed in Sydney, at Waitangi Day Concert, which celebrates the treaty signing by Maori chiefs and the British colonial government in 1840 [Mitchell, Tony.

LYRICS: Poi E

Poi-E
E rere ra e taku poi porotiti
Titahataha ra, whakararuraru e
Porotakataka ra, poro hurihuri mai
Rite tonu ki te tiwaiwaka e

Ka parepare ra, pioioi a
Whakahekeheke, e kia korikori e
Piki whakarunga ra, ma muinga mai a
Taku poi porotiti, taku poi e!

Poi E, whakatata mai
Poi E, kaua he rereke
Poi E, kia piri mai ki au
Poi E, e awhi mai ra
Poi E, tapekatia mai.

Poi E, o taua aroha -
- Poi E - paiheretia ra.
POI... TAKU POI, E!
