Mai Waitapu ki runga Te pou ki te tonga Ki Waihohonu Te pou ki te raki E piki ake ki te taumata o Ruahine Whakawhiti atu ki te taumata o te Whakauae o Tamatea Pokai Whenua Anei te huihuinga o Mokai Patea Nga pounga o te ahi a Tamatea Kaupeka ki runga, kaupeka, ki raro Kui kui whitiwhiti ora Ruia teitei, ruia teitei
From Waitapu The boundary to the south To Waihohonu The boundary to the north Arise to the summit of Ruahine Then cross to the Jawbone o Tamatea Pokai Whenua Here is the gathering of Mokai Patea The brands left by the fire of Tamatea Despite the pitfalls and obstacles Hark the living call Shake it and brandish it on high!
