Pō atarau
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

Look at the soldiers
Departed from us
Alas the love
And the pain
The voice of love calls out
Welcome, welcome
