N艒 nga t奴puna
Tuku iho, tuku iho.
Whakapono, t奴manako
Te aroha te aroha;
N艒 nga t奴puna
Tuku iho, tuku iho.

It is not as if love is a new thing
It comes from the ancestors
Handed down through the passages of time

The land, the land is life for the people
It comes from the ancestors
Handed down through the passages of time

Faith and hope
Love to the people
Comes from the ancestors
Handed down through the passages of time

Kei whea aku hoa i mua r膩
I te t艒nuitanga
Ka haramai
T膿nei ka tauwehe
Ka raungaiti au e.

The wind from the north touches me,
bringing loving memories
so that I mourn
in sorrow for my kin
lost to me in the world of spirits.

Where are they now?
Where are those friends of former days
who once lived in prosperity?
The time of separation has come,
Leaving me desolate.

But the greatest of these
Is love

Scattered by the wind
washed by the rain
and transformed by the sun,
all doubts are swept away
and all restraints are cast down.

Fly o free spirit, fly
to the clouds in the heavens,
transformed by the sun,
with all doubts swept away
and all restraints cast down.
Yes, all restraints are cast down.
