Ma te whakapono, ma te tumanako,
ma te titiro, ma te whakarongo,
ma te mahi tahi, ma te whakamomori,
ma te aroha, ka taea e matou.
By believing and trusting, By having faith, By looking and searching, By listening and hearing, By working and striving together, By sheer desire and determination, By all being done with love, We will succeed
Kia hora te marino.
Kia whakapapa pounamu te moana.
Kia tere te karohirohi ki mua i a koutou.
Hui e, tāiki e.
Let the calm be wide spread. Let the sea be smooth like pounamu. May the sea be smooth ahead of you.
