E te Hokowhitu a Tu kia kaha ra Kati ra te hingahinga ki raro ra Ma nga whakaaro kei runga rawa Hei arahi ki te ara E tika ai Whirinaki, whirinaki tatou katoa Kia kotahi ra Nga marae e tu noa nei Nga maunga e tu noa nei Aue ra e tama ma Te mamae te pouri nui E patu nei i ahau ina |
Oh brave band of Tu be strong Do not let yourselves be struck down Let your thoughts be always heavenwards To guide you along the path That is the proper one Depend, depend each upon the other and Lonely stands our marae Lonely stands our mountains Ah! To you our sons The pain and the deep sadness Beating within me so |
