[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

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
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
No matter where you come from
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!
