Haere mai, haere mai                  Welcome, welcome all the tribes

E ngā iwi e haere mai                  Welcome onto the courtyard 

Ki runga o te marae                     All of us gathered here. 

Hui mai tātou katoa                     Young women, young men 

E hine mā, e tama mā                  Uplift your Maori prestige 

Hapainga to mana Māori e           To float on high 

Kia rewa runga rawa                    All the tribes 

I a ha hā                                        Welcome welcome.

E ngā iwi e 

Haere mai, haere mai.      

 

HE HONORE  

He hōnore, he korōria1                                                 Honour glory and peace

Maungārongo ki te whenua                                         To the land

Whakaaro2 pai e                                                                May good thoughts 

Ki ngā tangata katoa                                                        Come to all men.

Te Atua, te piringa,                                                           The Lord is my refuge

Toku oranga                                                                        And my life.

Ake ake, ake ake                                                         For ever and ever, for ever and ever

Āmine                                                                                      Amen.
