Ehara i te mea
No inaianei te aroha
No nga tupuna
I tuku iho, i tuku iho
Te whenua, te whenua
Hei oranga mo te iwi
No nga tupuna
I tuku iho, i tuku iho
Whakapono, tumanako
Hei oranga mo te iwi
No nga tupuna
I tuku iho, i tuku iho
Love is not
A thing of modern times
It comes from the ancestors
Passed down through time
The land, the land
Is the source of life for the people
It comes from the ancestors
Passed down through time
Faith and hope
Is the source of life for the people
It comes from the ancestors
Passed down through time
