Aotearoa

Nō tawhiti, nō tata

Nō te whenua o te Atua tātou

Ahakoa nō hea mai koe

Ka whawhai tonu mātou mōu

Ko au tō maunga, tū tonu

Ko te moana pari mai koe

Ko koe te awa i taku remu

Ko tāua anō tāua

Nō te one i Kurawaka

Hei tiaki i te whenua nei

Aotearoa, he iwi kaha tātou,

He mana tuku iho mai anō

Whenua haumako, wairua ora

Whāia tō ara ki te mutunga

Nō tawhiti, nō tata

Nō te whenua o te Atua tātou

Ahakoa nō hea mai koe

Ka whawhai tonu mātou mōu

He kōrero tō te whenua

Heke mai ki a tātou

He toa au mōna e oke nei e

E kore au e hinga

He uri nō te roimata

Te toto o ngā tūpuna

E kore au e wehi ē

Kia kaha tātou ki tāu i pai ai

Whakatinana, kaua e ngutu noa

Whenua haumako, wairua ora

Whāia tō ara ki te mutunga

Nō tawhiti, nō tata

Nō te whenua o te Atua tātou

Ahakoa nō hea mai koe

Ka whawhai tonu mātou mōu

E Ihowā Atua

O ngā iwi mātou rā

Āta whakarongona

Me aroha noa

Kia hua ko te pai

Kia tau tō atawhai

Manaakitia mai

Aotearoa!

Nō tawhiti, nō tata

Nō te whenua o te Atua tātou

Ahakoa nō hea mai koe

Ka whawhai tonu mātou mōu
