Tā te marahea he pāhiwi
Ki te toa, ki tana ōhākī
He toa horopū, hohoro mō te ariki
Māharatia
Te oranga, inā te utu e
I tō noho āhuru
Whakaarohia te iwi houhare
Houhare
Mō tāua
E kore e kaumātuatia
Pēnei i a tātou e
I te hekenga o te rā, a, i te ata
Maumaharatia
I wehe ki tāwāhi
He mahi mātātoa
Rere ana a toto
Rere ana a roimata
Whakauenukutia
Kua tohua
Ki te kohatu
E kore anō e kite
I tana ūkaipō
Tē mūhore
O tō mate
E kore e kaumātuatia
Pēnei i a tātou e
I te hekenga o te rā, a
Lest we forget
Freedom it don't come for free
So while you're sitting there
Spare a thought for those who paved the way
For you and me
For you and me babe
They will grow not old
As we that are left grow old
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them
