Toitu he whenua, whatungarongaro he tangata
The land is permanent, man disappears
Kia mau ki to Māoritanga
Hold fast to your culture
Nā tō rourou, nā taku rourou ka ora ai te iwi
With your food basket and my food basket the people will thrive
Ma te huruhuru, ka rere te manu
Adorn the bird with feathers so it can fly
Introduction / Nau mai
Working together for the betterment of our future generations
He mahinga tahi mo ngā uri o apopo
Ka tangi tō tītī
Ka tangi tō kākā
Ka tangi hoki ahau
Tihei mauri ora!
Ma ngā parihau o te Manukura e
rere nei ngā kupu mihi kia koutou
Tēnā tātau katoa
