Kua eke mai nei
Kua eke mai nei ki runga te marae e

Mauria mai ra
Mauria mai ra e nga mate o te motu e
Me nga tini roimata
Me nga tini roimata e maringi whanui e

Ara - Titiro e nga iwi (Boys)
Titiro e nga iwi e nga mahi o te motu
E hora atu nei e

Rū ana te whenua (Boys)
Rū ana te whenua, whatiwhati te moana
Aue te aroha
Aue te aroha te mamae i ahau e x2

Rū ana te whenua whatiwhati (Boys)

Hi!

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. x2

The ground shakes and quivers
