Lyrics

Māku e ringiringi kīaka o roimata,

Ara e ahu ana ki te kāinga

Kai te manatu au mo te whenua

O ōku tīpuna ki te kāinga

E awhi reinga,

E awhi tāua.

English Translation

I will pour out jugfuls of tears

on the trail that leads to home

I am homesick for the land

of the old people of my village

We embrace with the spirits

when we embrace each other.
