Nō tawhiti, nō tata

No matter if you’re near or far
We come from the land of God
No matter where you come from
We’ll fight for your freedom

Ko au tō maunga, tū tonu
ko te moana pari mai koe
ko koe te awa i taku remu, ko tāua ano tāua
nō te one i Kurawaka, hei tiaki i te whenua nei

I am the mountain, you are the sea flowing toward me
You are the river that runs through me, I am her she is me
Created from dust and sand, born to lead this land

he iwi kaha tātou
he mana tuku iho mai anō
whenua haumako
wairua ora
whāia tō ora

Where we come from we were made to be strong
Our legacy will carry on
And if a piece of home
Resonates in your soul
Your journey will take you
Where you belong

RIA HALL

He kōrero tō te whenua, heke mai ki a tātou
he toa au mōna e oke nei e

he uri nō te roimata
te toto o ngā tūpuna
e kore au e wehi ē

The heritage of this land is deep, we are it’s legacy
I am her warrior, I fight for thee, we have the victory
Born from blood and tears, I am stronger than fear

Whakatinana, kaua e ngutu noa

whaia to ara ki te mutunga

We strive to move to our destiny
we practice more than what we preach
and if a piece of home resonates in your soul
