E tū kahikatea
Hei whakapae ururoa
Awhi mai awhi atu
Tātou tātou e (x2)
E tū kahikatoa
Kare kau e hinga
Awhi mai awhi atu
Tātou tātou e (x2)
E tū puriri
Toha ra o peka
Awhi mai awhi atu
Tātou tatou e (x2)
Stand like the kahikatea (tree)
To brave the storms
Embrace and receive
We are one together
To brave the storms
Embrace and receive
We are one together
Stand with vigour
You will not fall
Give and receive help
We are one together
Stand like the Puriri
And reach out your branches
Embrace and receive
We are one together
