Ka waiata ki a Maria - Let us sing to Mary,
Hine i whakaae - The girl who said "Yes
Whakameatia mai - let it be as you say, that I become
Te whare tangata - the house of mankind."
Hine pūrotu - A simple girl
Hine ngākau - A strong-hearted girl
Hine rangimārie - A quiet girl
Ko Te Whaea - The Mother of Jesus,
Ko te whaea - and the mother
O te ao - of the whole world
