Taku Pītau Mātauranga
Taku Pītau Mātauranga, Arahina tō iwi e
Ka rewa ake te wairua
Ki runga i ngā pae maunga
He aha kei tua rā?
He aha hei painga e?
Uia atu te manawa
I roto i a koe anō
E ora rānei tō mauri?
Me rite, kia hō.
Ko wai, ka hua, ka tohu?
Ma wai rā e whakakoingo, kia kaha rā?
Ko tōku ngākau ora
He Ngākau Māori e
Kei hea ra te huarahi?
Kei tōku marae e! x2
Taku Pītau Mātauranga, Arahina tō iwi e
Utaina ki runga, i te kaupapa o Te Arahou!!
Hei ha!
My Pītau Mātauranga, lead your people
The spirit rises
To the lofty mountain
What is beyond?
What worth is there?
Let your heart ask the question
That burns within
Is your lifeforce well?
Prepare to advance.
Who can say, who knows?
Who will nurture the desire and bring strength?
My living heart
Is my Māori heart
Where is the pathway for me?
It is at the marae!
My Pītau Mātauranga, lead your people
Get on board, the MAC kaupapa!
Hei ha!
