Maori Lyrics:
Kaea: Ringa Pakia
Katoa: A hi
Kaea: Turi whatia,
Katoa: A hi
Kaea: Waewae takahia kia kino
Katoa: A hi
Kaea: Kia matou nga Kaiarahi mo apopo
Katoa: No nga hau e wha o Aotearoa matou
Kua tae mai matou ki te ope
Tu taua ki te riro nga matauranga i konei
Kaea: Ha aha nga matauranga
Katoa: Ko te pumau, ko te maia,
ko te whakawhanaungatanga, me ko te tautoko hoki,
ko enei nga taonga whakahirahira mo ta matou haerenga
Kaea: Nga raruraru kei mua i a matou
Katoa: Otira, ‘Whaia koe te iti kahurangi,
ki te tuohu koe he maunga teitei»
He mihi mutunga ki nga kaiako.
Mena, kahore koutou kia arahi,
kia awhina ki te rapu i ta matou huarahi, kua ngaro matou
Kaea: Kaikaha matou
Katoa: Takatu matou
Kia kaha matou
aue, aue, aue hi aue hi

All: The loyalty, the confidence, the friendship, and also the support,
these are the important treasures for our journey.
Leader: There will be struggles in front of us
All: However, follow your treasured aspiration,
if you should bow your head let it be to a lofty mountain,
pursuing your dream and aspiration.
Lastly our acknowledgment to our tutor.
If you didn’t guide us to find our pathway, we would be lost

All: We are ready
We are strong
Aue, aue aue, hi aue hi
