Translation...

Tīaho mai i te ao o tai rerehua, waiwaiā
Shine, emit your light, radiate in the world, majestic and stunning in your reflection
Tīaho mai rā, o tai rerehua, o tai rirerire, tīaho mai rā
(Emit your light, majestic and colorful… shine this day)
Tīaho mai rā, mauri tipua, mauri tawhito, tīaho mai rā
(Emit your light, gifted essence, cultural essence… shine this day)
E tipu e rea mō ngā rā o tō ao
(Grow and spread for all your days in this world)
Ehara taku toa i te toa takitahi, he toa takitini e
(Strength is not the result of individual efforts,
but of the many people who help along the way)
Tīaho mai ra, tīaho mai ra, tīaho mai ra
(Shine this day, emit your light… shine!)
