Toia mai te waka nei
Kumea mai te waka neiKi te takotoranga i takoto ai
Tiriti te mana motuhake
Te tangi a te manu e
Pīpī-wha-rau-roa
Kui! Kui! Kui!
Whitiwhiti ora!
Hui e, tāiki e.
Haul this canoe
drag the canoe up here
to its resting place;
the Treaty gives us our autonomy.
May the cry of the bird,
the shining cuckoo
- Quee! Quee! Quee! -
signal a change for the better.
Draw together, become intertwined!
