For our waiata, substitute:
First Verse: 'E nga iwi e' for 'Kaimahi e'
Last Verse: 'Aue hi' for 'Aue te aroha'
Māori E nga iwi ( .. Kaimahi e .. ) Karanga e te iwi e Kua eke mai nei Kua eke mai nei ki runga te marae e Mauria mai ra Mauria mai ra me nga mate ote motu e Me nga tini roimata Me nga tini roimata e maringi whanui e Aha titiro e nga iwi Titiro e nga iwi ki nga mahi o te motu E horo ake nei e Ruana te whenua Ruana te whenua whatiwhati te moana Aue Hi ( .. Aue te aroha .. ) Aue te aroha te mamae i ahau e | English Our tribe is calling to the people Who have just set foot on this marae Bring with you the memories of all our dead And so many tears spilling forth nation-wide Look at our people working across the land Spread out far and wide Shaking is the ground, quivering is the sea Oh, the love and the pain within me |
