He rite ana mātou ki te kauwau i runga i te toka; ka pari te tai, ka ngaro te kōhatu, ka rere te manu
We are the same as a
shag perched upon an
ocean rock; the tide
encroaches, the stone
disappears and the bird
must fly away
Toi tū te marae o TaneToit tū te marae o TangaroaToi tū te iwi
Ka patu ngā uri o Tane
Ka patu ngā uri o
TangaroaKa mate te
tangata
Mahi kai takata, he mahi kai hoaka
It is work that consumes
people, as greenstone
consumes sandstone
Mō tātou, ā, mō ka uri a muri ake nei
For us and our children after
us
