1.Ka tangi te titi     The Mutton bird cries

Ka tangi te kaka      The Parrot cries

Ka tangi ko ahau    I also cry

Tihei (wa) Mauri Ora!    Behold there is Life!

2.
Ko te wehi ki te Atua    Regards to the Creator

Me whakakororia tona ingoa    Glorify his name

I nga wa katoa.       For all times.



3. Tena Koutou i o tatou tini mate  Greetings to our many dead

Haere, haere, haere.                   Farewell, farewell, farewell.

4.Te hunga mate ki te hunga mate  The dead to the dead

Te hunga ora ki te hunga ora    The living to the living

5. Ka nui te koa me te hari        Great is the joy and the pleasure

ki te tutaki i a koutou                     to meet you

6.Kua tae mai matou           We have come

ki te tautoko te kaupapa        to support the reason

o tenei wa.                         of this time.

7.Waiho i te toipoto      Let us join together

Kaua i te toiroa        And not fall apart.

Ko Jacob Wharepouri Taku ingoa

Ko Ngati Ranginui te Iwi
