Ko Ruahine

Ko Ruahine te maunga
Ko Oroua te awa
Ko Ngati Kauwhata te iwi, Aue!
Ko Tainui te waka
Nga Marae e takato nei
Nga kupu pupuritia
Tihei Mauriora (x2)



Tai aroha



Ko te aroha anō he wai
E pupū ake ana
He awa e māpuna mai ana
I roto i te whatū-manawa (x2)

Ko tona matapuna he hōhonu
Ā ina ia ka rere anō (x2)

He tai timu
He tai pari
He tai ope
He tai ora
He tai nui
Love is like water
continually bubbling up
a river that will keep flowing
from within the very seat of the emotions.

From a very deep source
it will keep on rising

an ebb tide
an incoming tide
a forceful tide
a living tide
a full tide.

Ka waiata



Ka waiata ki a Maria
Hine i whakaae
Whakameatia mai
Te whare tangata.

Hine pūrotu
Hine ngākau
Hine rangimārie

Ko Te Whaea
Ko te whaea
O te ao

Let us sing to Mary,
The girl who said "Yes
let it be as you say, 
that I become
the house of mankind." 

A simple girl
A strong-hearted girl
A quiet girl.

The Mother of Jesus,
and the mother
of the whole world

E rere taku poi



E rere taku poi
E rere taku poi
Ki runga, ki runga

E rere taku poi
E rere taku poi
Ki raro, ki raro

E rere runga
E rere raro
E rere roto, e rere waho

E rere taku poi
E rere taku poi
Ki runga, ki runga

Karakia hou


E to matou Matuai te rangi
Kia tapu2 tou Ingoa3
Kia tae mai tou rangatira-tanga4.

Kia meatia5 tau e pai ai
ki runga ki te whenua,
kia rite ano ki to te rangi.
Our Parent in the spirit world
Sacred is your Name
Bring us Your Chiefly rule;

May it happen in the way that is to You, good;
may it happen on earth
in the same way as in spirit world.
Homai ki a matou aianei
he taro6 ma matou mo tenei ra.

Murua7 o matou hara

Me matou hoki e muru nei
i o te hunga8 e hara ana ki a matou.

Aua hoki matou e kawea kia whaka-waia;9
Give us now
the food we need this day.
.
Strip us of our sins;

Give us back what we have lost;
so that we, the slaves of sin, may be with you again. 

Do not lead us into temptation;
Engari whaka-orangia10 matou, i te kino:

Nou hoki te rangatira-tanga,
te kaha,
me te kororia,

Ake, ake, ake.
Amine.
