Hoki mai tama ma ki roto, ki roto
I nga ringa e tuwhera atu nei,
Kei te kapakapa mai te Haki, te Haki
I nga rangi runga o Tiamana e
Hoki mai, hoki mai ki te wa kainga
Kua tutuki te tumanako,
Kei te kapakapa mai te Haki, te Haki
I nga rangi runga o Tiamana e
Sons of Aotearoa, return to us
To our outstretched arms
Bring your banner to the fore, let it wave
Let this symbol of your courage be revealed.
Return, return to your home
You have fulfilled our hopes
You have brought your banner to the fore
The symbol of your courage revealed
