Rerenga wairua

Rerenga Wairua 
tēnā whakarongo mai
Papaki tū ana 
ngā tai o Te Tokerau
Ueoneone rā 
he tāngata rangatira e
No te Aupouri, 
Ngāpuhi nui tonu e

English translation

Spiritual journey
Please listen
Clap resoundingly
The tides of the North
Oh, there
is a noble person
From Aupouri,
Of mighty Ngāpuhi
