Pāwhare e (kōtiro mā), Pāwhare e (tama mā)

E karanga e te iwi e

Kua eke mai nei

Kua eke mai nei ki runga te marae e

Mauria mai e nga

Mauria mai e ngā mate o te motu e

Me ngā tini roimata

Me ngā tini roimata e maringi whānui e

Titiro e ngā iwi

Titiro e ngā iwi ki ngā mahi o te motu e hora atu nei e

Rū ana te whenua

Rū ana te whenua, whati ana te moana

Auē te aroha

Auē te aroha te mamae i ahau e (Sing through twice)

(Boys) Rū ana te whenua, whati ana-Hī !

E minaka ana taku waha - I desire that Ki te kai a te rangatira - my talk be like that of a leader, Taku reo rangatira - my noble language Taku kuru pounamu tuku iho - my precious inheritance. Mīharo kē ana - Astound me Ki tōna pakari kia ora - with your maturity by Tē memeha, te wairua - Don't weaken, the spirit you show ki te kōrero Māori - when speaking Maori. Kia kaha tātou - Let us be strong Ki te (Hi ) kōrero Māori! - in speaking Maori!
