Kia tau ngā manaakitanga a te mea ngaro

ki runga ki tēnā ki tena o tātou

Kia mahea te hua mākihikihi

Kia toi te kupu, toi te mana, toi te aroha, toi te Reo Māori

Kia tūturu kia whakamaua kia tīna, Tīna!!

Haumie, Hui e, Taiki e!!

Let the strength and life force of our ancestors be with each and every one of us

Freeing our path from obstruction

So that our words, spiritual power, love and language are upheld

Permanently fixed, established and understood, Forward together!
