Te Pae o Hikurangi lyrics
Me he whetū tārake nō Matariki
Ka maharatia koutou
Hoki wairua mai ki ō uri
Ki ō mahuetanga iho
E noho nei i te rohe
O te Pae o Hikurangi e
Te waonui o Tiriwā te tipua
Nō Te Kawerau a Maki e
Kōrihi:
Hoki wairua mai - ki a mātou
Ūhia mai rā ko te aroha
Kia whātui ai rā
Hei whānau kotahi
Ki te rohe o te Uru e
Kotuinga:
Hei whānau kotahi, hei whānau piri
Ki ngā tohu o te aroha
Ko te Pae o Hikurangi
Te kāinga manaaki
I a tātou katoa
Kōrihi:
Hoki wairua mai - ki a mātou
Ūhia mai rā ko te aroha
Kia whātui ai rā
Hei whānau kotahi
Ki te rohe o te Uru e
O te Uru e
You who have become stars of Matariki
Will always be remembered
Return to us, your descendants
Those who remain in this realm
Those who live within the boundaries
Of Te Pae o Hikurangi
In the realm of the great Tiriwā
Of Te Kawerau a Maki
Return to us
Shower us with your love
So we may be bound
As one family
Living together in the West
As one family living closely
Within the bounds of love
The mountain range
Is the home that embraces
Everyone entirely
Return to us
Shower us with your love
So we may be bound
As one family
Living together in the West
In the West
