Karangatia rā - Loud (sorry)

Karangatia ra - Call to them
Karangatia ra - Call to them,
Powhiritia ra - Welcome
Nga iwi o te motu - the tribes of the land
Nga mano tini - All you multitudes
Haere mai - Welcome
He hui aroha - A gathering of love
Mo koutou e nga iwi - for all of you people
Ngau nei te aroha - Within us gnaws the feeling
Me te mamae - and the pain

Nau ra e Api - Twas you Aoirana (Ngata)
Nau ra e koro - Twas you elder one
Wero ki taku uma - who, within my breast, laid the challenge
Titirawa i te manawa - which pierced my heart
Oho ana te mauri - My soul is stricken
Aue ra - Alas
Taonga tuku iho - Treasures handed down
Na nga tupuna - from the ancestors
Ngau nei te aroha - Within us gnaws the feeling
Me te mamae - and the pain

Tahi, rua, toru wha! Hi aue hi!
