Lyrics

Tukua ahau

Kia haere noa

Ngapuke i mamao

E hotu nei

E Tangi nei

Te manawa aroha

Haere ra

Haere ra

Kia tuturu au

E Kupu hari a

Kiamo te aroha.

Transition: the time changes from 3/4 to 4/4.

Let me be borne

On the four winds

Let my heart know the way

And never forget

The voice of my land

Or one moment of yesterday -

And my love, oh my love

It runs deep from within

the soul of the land

I'll always remember

It's here we belong

I'll never forget my love

Kiamo Te Aroha -a -a!
