Maori Lyrics:
Kaea: Ringa Pakia
Katoa: A hi
Kaea: Turi whatia,
Katoa: A hi
Kaea: Waewae takahia kia kino
Katoa: A hi
Kaea: Kia matou nga Kaiarahi mo apopo
Katoa: No nga hau e wha o Aotearoa matou Kua tae mai matou ki te ope Tu taua ki te riro nga matauranga i konei
Kaea: Ha aha nga matauranga
Katoa: Ko te pumau, ko te maia, ko te whakawhanaungatanga, me ko te tautoko hoki, ko enei nga taonga whakahirahira mo ta matou haerenga
Kaea: Nga raruraru kei mua i a matou
Katoa: Otira, ‘Whaia koe te iti kahurangi, ki te tuohu koe he maunga teitei” He mihi mutunga ki nga kaiako. Mena, kahore koutou kia arahi, kia awhina ki te rapu i ta matou huarahi, kua ngaro matou
Kaea: Kaikaha matou
Katoa: Takatu matou
Kia kaha matou
aue, aue, aue hi aue hi
