| E te Hokowhitu a Tū kia kaha rā |
| C |
| Kāti rā te hingahinga ki raro rā |
| F |
| Mā ngā whaka aro kei runga rawa |
| C |
| Hei arahi ki te ara e tika ai |
| G7 |
| Whirinaki, whirinaki tātou katoa |
| C |
| Ngā maunga e tū noa nei |
| G | G7 |
| E patu nei | i ahau inā |
| Oh brave band of Tū be strong | |
| Do not let yourselves be struck down | |
| Let your thoughts be always heavenwards | |
| to guide you along the path that is the proper one | |
| Depend, depend each upon the other | |
| Lonely stands our marae and | |
| lonely stands our mountains, | |
| and stand together as one. | |
