Kaua rā e huri noa

Maori lyrics

Kaua rā e huri noa
Kaua hei whakahāwea
Mā ō mahi ka kitea koe
E te ao, e tō iwi Māori
Kua puāwai rawa ngā purapura e
I ruia mai i ngā wā o tua whakarere
E toro nei ngā kāwai taura tangata
Hei hono i te aroha o ō tāua tīpuna
Te mana, te wehi – Aue!
Awhitia ngā taonga
Kei memeha kei ngaro
Kei tūkinotia e te ao
Puritia tō mana
Kei riro e
Kia mau, kia mau, auē
