Pa mai te reo aroha
Ki te pa o Tamaki Makau Rau
E nga iwi o Aotearoa
Haere mai haere mai

Titiro ki nga hoia
kua wehi nei 
Aue te aroha me te mamae
E nga iwi o Aotearoa
Kia kaha kia manawanui

The voice of love is calling out
To the pa of Auckland
To the people of New Zealand
Welcome, welcome

Look at the soldiers
Departed from us
Alas the love and the pain
To the people of New Zealand
Be strong, be patient
