Pa mai

(All)

Pä mai tö reo aroha

Ki te pä o Aotearoa

E ngä iwi o Aotearoa

Haere mai, haere mai.

Titiro ki nga hoia kua wehi nei

Aue! te aroha me te mamae

(Women)

E nga iwi o Aotearoa...

(Men)

Tahi miti toru e

Tae te marumaru

Whare tapu teitei

Te ao korowhiti(All)

...Kia kaha! kia manawanui!

(All)

Your voice of love reaches

the army base of (..whatever is nearest)

(All you) tribes of new Zealand

Come hither, come hither.

Look at the soldiers departing from us

Alas! the love and the pain.

(Women)

To the people of New Zealand...

(Men)

First one then later three weapons

as a protection for

the lofty sacred house

known throughout the world

(All)

...Be strong! be patient!
