E iwi e !!
(E iwi e) Te iwi e
e karanga e te iwi e
(Kua eke mai nei) Kua eke mai nei ki runga te marae e
(Mauria mai ra) Mauria mai ra e nga mate o te motu e
(Me nga tini roimata) Me nga tini roimata e maringi whanui e
(Titiro e nga iwi) Titiro e nga iwi
e nga mahi o te motu. E hora atu nei e
(Rū ana te whenua) Rū ana te whenua, whatiwhati te moana
(Aue te aroha) Aue te aroha te mamae i ahau e.
Rū ana te whenua whatiwhati, hei!
Our tribe is calling to the people who have just arrived on our meeting ground.
Bring with you memories of the dead of this land and so many tears spilling forth nation-wide.
Look at our people working across the land spread out far and wide
Shaking is the ground,
quivering is the sea.
Oh, the love and the pain within me.
The ground is shaking and quivering.
