Taku Pītau Mātauranga, Arahina tō iwi e

My Pītau Mātauranga, lead your people

Ka rewa ake te wairua

Ki runga i ngā pae maunga

He aha kei tua rā?

He aha hei painga e?

The spirit rises

To the lofty mountain

What is beyond?

What worth is there?

Uia atu te manawa

I roto i a koe anō

E ora rānei tō mauri?

Me rite, kia hō. 

Let your heart ask the question

That burns within

Is your lifeforce well?

Prepare to advance.

Ko wai, ka hua, ka tohu?

Ma wai rā e whakakoingo, kia kaha rā?

Who can say, who knows?

Who will nurture the desire and bring strength?

Ko tōku ngākau ora

He Ngākau Māori e

Kei hea ra te huarahi?

Kei tōku marae e! x2

My living heart

Is my Māori heart

Where is the pathway for me?

It is at the marae!

Taku Pītau Mātauranga, Arahina tō iwi e
