| KIA WIRI! TU WHAKAMAUA! KIA TINA! Tina! Hui e! Taiki e!! I TE TĪMATANGA KO TE KORE* Ko Te Pō-nui Ko Te Pō-roa Ia, ha ha! Wehenga mātua** Herenga tāngata He toa rangatahi He toa rangatira. Whakaki te maunga Tae ki te whenua Hoki ki te rangi Tae ki te pukerunga Ia, ha ha! Piki ake, piki ake Ki te ara poutama Ki ngā taumatatanga e Wairua, Hinengaro Tinana Aue, aue, aue, hi! | Start quivering your hands! Stand sure, Be firm! Firm! Get together! Intermesh with each other! In the beginning there was nothingness, then great dark forms in the long night. The separation of our parents** The binding together of mankind Young warriors Noble warriors Aim for the mountain to arrive at the plain, and also for the sky to arrive at the hilltop Keep on climbing via the pathway of wisdom, to achieve excellence spiritually, mentally, physically. |
* Te Kore, Te Pō Nui and Te Pō Roa are personified as primordial ancestors.
** Matua = the first parents, Ranginui and Papatuanuku, spirit and flesh.........
