Karakia whakamutunga
Unuhia, unuhia
Draw on, draw on
Unuhia ki te uru tapu nui
Draw on the supreme sacredness
Kia wātea, kia māmā, te ngākau, te tinana, te wairua i te ara takatā
To clear and to free the heart, body and spirit of mankind
Koia rā e Rongo, whakairia ake ki runga
Rongo, suspended high above us
Kia tina! Tina! Hui e! Tāiki E
Draw together and affirm
Karakia Timatanga
Karakia
Tukuna te wairua
kia rere ki ngā taumata
Hei ārahi I ā mātou mahi
Me tā mātou whai
I ngā tikanga a rātou mā
Kia mau, kia ita
Kia kore ai e ngaro
Kia pupuri, kia whakamaua
Kia tina! TINA!
Haumi e! Hui e! Tāiki E!
