[English Translation:]

No matter if you’re near or far
We come from the land of God
No matter where you come from
We’ll fight for your freedom

I am the mountain, you are the sea flowing toward me
You are the river that runs through me, I am her she is me
Created from dust and sand, born to lead this land

Where we come from we were made to be strong
Our legacy will carry on
And if a piece of home
Resonates in your soul
Your journey will take you
Where you belong

No matter if you’re near or far
We come from the land of God
No matter where you come from
We’ll fight for your freedom

[RIA HALL:]
The heritage of this land is deep, we are it’s legacy
I am her warrior, I fight for thee, we have the victory
Born from blood and tears, I am stronger than fear

[TROY KINGI:]
We strive to move to our destiny 
we practice more than what we preach 
and if a piece of home resonates in your soul
your journey will take you where you belong 

No matter if you’re near or far
We come from the land of God
No matter where you come from
We’ll fight for your freedom

No matter if you’re near or far
We come from the land of God

We’ll fight for your freedom

No matter if you’re near or far
We come from the land of God

We’ll fight for your freedom

E karanga e te iwi e

Our tribe is calling to the people

who have just set foot on this marae

Bring with you the memories of all our dead

and so many tears spilling forth nation-wide.


Look at our people working across the land
spread out far and wide

Shaking is the ground, quivering is the sea.

Oh, the love and the pain within me.

The ground shakes and quivers, yeah!

Ka Pioioi

Ka pioioi1 e Tohu aroha haukāinga E hoki mai rā Kia kite atu i tō iwi e. E rotarota ana E katakata ana mai rā. Pūkana whetero mai I te ihi ā ō mātua. Kia kite atu ano I tō ataahua ai kanapa Pupuhi ai e te hau Kapohia āku roimata. Ka pioioi he tohu aroha haukāinga.

This swaying dance shows the love of your home-town people. You've come back home, to see your people. There is gesturing and laughing with joy at your return, Eyes popping and tongues thrusting from the energy of those performing. I see again your beauty gleaming there caressed by the wind, and my tears are snatched away. This fluttering dance shows your home-town people's love.

1 Pioioi emulates the flutterering flight of the fantail. This insect-catching bird is small and delicate, yet fearless and sociable.

Ka poipoia

Ka poipoia ahau             Let me be nurtured

E te po marino e             By the calm evening
He korowai o te Atua        The cloak of the Creator
Taku whare okioki             To my place of rest

Tera nga whetu korikoriko        The twinkling stars

Te marama taiahoaho          The shimmering moon
Hei hoa moku i te poho         That accompanies me
Taku whare okioki             To my place of rest
He kapua i te Ikaroa          A cloud in the Milky Way
Moku mo aku takahanga         For my despair
Hei hoa moku i te poho           That accompanies me
Taku whare okioki               To my place of rest
He kapua i te Ikaroa           A cloud in the Milky Way
Moku mo aku takahanga         For my despair
Hei hoa moku i te poho          That accompanies me 
Taku whare okioki              To my place of rest
Hei hoa moku i te poho         That accompanies me 
Taku whare okioki             To my place of rest

Tai Aroha

Ko te aroha anō he wai                       Love is like water 
E pupū ake ana                                 continually bubbling up 
He awa e māpuna mai ana                  a river that will keep flowing  
I roto i te whatū-manawa (x2)             from within the very seat of the emotions. 

Ko tona matapuna he hōhonu              From a very deep source 
Ā ina ia ka rere anō (x2)                    it will keep on rising

He tai timu                                       an ebb tide
He tai pari                                        an incoming tide
He tai ope                                        a forceful tide
He tai ora                                         a living tide 
He tai nui                                         a full tide.
