Ka mate! Ka mate!
Ka mate! Ka mate!
Ka ora! Ka ora!
(tāne!) Tēnei te tangata pūhuruhuru
Nāna nei i tiki mai whakawhiti te rā!
Upene!
Ka upene!
Whiti te rā!
Standing on the sacred ground
Ancestors are watching now (ahahaha) From the mountain to the sea
This is where we stand as one!
Carved in wood
and carved in stone
We
are never
here alone
Whakarongo!
Whakarongo! (hi!)
Tōia mai ngā waka
Kī te mātāpuna
Feel the breath of the land (hūūūū)
Standing on the sacred ground
Ancestors are watching now
(ahahaha) From the mountain to
the sea
This is where we stand as one!
Whiti
te rā!
(hi!) Ka mate, ka mate!
