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?
