Uhia te korowai
kahui ki te iwi hei tauawhi,
hei akiaki ki te ao angitu

Spread the folds of the korowai to all,
as a means of support and encouragement in pursuit of success

Anei tō korowai – ōu, mauria, ka horahia ki te iwi, haere mai ki te mahi haumaru, ki te mahi i te mahi ma te iwi – āhuru mōwai.

Karanga mai, Nau mai, Haere mai

E hika tū ake
Ki runga rā whitiki taua
Hei tama tū
Uea ki te uru
Kumea ki te tonga
Hiki nuku Hiki rangi I arā rā
Ka ngaru e, ka ngaru e
Toia ki te hau marangai
Kia whakarongo taku kiri
Te kikini a te rehutai
O Ngā ngaru whatiwhati
E haruru mai nei
Wī, wī wī
Wā wā wā A! hā! hā!
Horahia ō mata ki a Meremere
Tūahiahi Hei taki i te ara ki a Tangaroa
He atua hāo i te tini ki te pō
E kokoia e ara e

Helicopter View of Mount Maunganui township

Arise you who slumber
Prepare ourselves
Prove our manhood
Heave to the west
Heave to the south
Move heaven and earth
It awakens, It loosens, shudders
Haul toward the stormy east wind
That the sky may feel
The tang of salt spray
Of the turbulent thundering waves
Wi Wi wi – Wa Wa Wa A! ha! ha!
Cast your eyes heavenward
Toward Venus, the evening star,
To light the path
To the ocean of Tangaroa,
The god who lures many into his embrace,
Into eternal darkness.
Alas, the birds have awakened
​Dawn has come.
