Pō atarau
E moea iho nei
E haere ana
Koe ki pāmamao
E moea iho nei
E haere ana
Koe ki pāmamao
Haere rā
Ka hoki mai anō
Ki i te tau
E tangi atu nei
When you return
You’ll find me
Waiting here
The voice of love is calling out
To the pa of New Zealand
To the people of New Zealand
Welcome, welcome
To the pa of New Zealand
To the people of New Zealand
Welcome, welcome
Look at the soldiers
Departed from us
Alas the love
And the pain
The voice of love calls out
Welcome, welcome
