| 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 | |
| Going back to works of past years | |
| The ground shakes and quivers, yeah! | |
