Kei ngā kaipara i te ara

To the ones who paved the way

Te hunga o te whenua taurikura

Who come from the land of prosperity

Tē aro i kaha rawa te moemoeā

We had no idea the dreams we had were far too big

I kaha rawa

Far too big

Ka hīkoi tahi tātou

We will walk together

Tauri pua ki ō tātou pane

Garlands of flowers in our hair

I te taiao ahurei, i tipu ai te rākau miro

In the realm of splendour, where the miro trees grow

Mahue mai ana ko ngā hua pirau

Where fallen fruit is deserted

Auē!

Alas

Mai i te papa ki te rangi rere ai

From land to sky we shall fly

Honea ana nā te makerewhatu

We’ll disappear in the cover of the rain

Ihumanea mai, pongipongi mai

The clever, and the dull

Kei te tūmanako rā

And the desire

Ka tanu ki wāhi kē

Is planted in another place

Takatakahia, takatakahia

March on, march on

Te ara i takoto i te rau tangata

Along the path that was paved by the many

Ki ōku taumata okiokinga

To my esteemed ones

Nau mai, nau ake

Let’s go together

Takahia te ara

Follow the path

Whano ki tua

Forward and beyond

Takatakahia, takatakahia

Takatakahia rā

March on and on

Ka hīkoi tahi tātou

We will walk together

Tauri pua ki ō tātou pane

Garlands of flowers in our hair

Ka pēhea te aroha i te mea ka ngaro?

But how can I love what I know I am gonna lose?
