Ehara i te mea - It is not a new thing
No naianei te aroha - now that is love
No nga tupuna - Comes from the ancestors
Tuku iho tuku iho - Handed down through the passages of time
Te whenua te whenua - The land, the land
Te oranga mo te iwi - is the life for the people
No nga tupuna - Comes from the ancestors
Tuku iho tuku iho - Handed down through the passages of time
Whakapono tumanako - Faith and hope
Te aroha ki te iwi- Love to the people
No nga tupuna - Comes from the ancestors
Tuku iho tuku iho - Handed down through the passages of time
