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!
