| Tutūngia te hatete o te reo | |
| Kia kongange, kia pūkauri | |
| Kei pūrēhua, ka piroku, ka kewa | |
| Ponitakatia kia pūāhuru te noho | |
| Ponitakatia kia pūāhuru te noho | |
| Kia kongange, kia pūkauri | |
| Tutūngia te hatete o te reo | |
| Ngā Tāne: Taku ahi tūtata, taku mata kikoha | |
| Te kanaku whitawhita o te reo e...hī! | |
| Ignite the fire of the language | |
| Oh you the industrious rank | |
| ignite the fire of the language | |
| so that it blazes, and burns fiercely | |
| lest it flickers indistinctly, and eventually extinguishes | |
| both yearning, desire, kept alight | |
| Surround yourself so that you are warmed | |
| When my fire is close the point of my weapon is sharp | |
| both yearning, desire, kept alight | |
| Surround yourself so that you are warmed | |
| When my fire is close the point of my weapon is sharp | |
| lest it flickers and get extinguished | |
| so that it blazes, and burns fiercely | |
| ignite the fire of the language | |
| When my fire is close the point of my weapon is sharp | |
| The healthy fire of the language. | |
