Haere Mai , Malo e lelei, Talofa, Namaste, Bula - Welcome
Ka rongo ngā taringa i ngā ngaru whati mai
He ngaru tāngata He ngaru wairua He ngaru rangatira Nau mai ki te kutakitanga o ngā awa o Ōtara, o Waioweka E rere mananui atu nei ki te Moana-a-Toi Nau mai haere mai ki tēnei whare tapu Nau mai haere mai ki tēnei whare o Te Atua I hear the waves that break beyond It is a wave of people It is a wave of spirits It is a wave of chiefs Welcome to the place where the rivers of Ōtara and Waioweka converge As they flow so majestically to the Pacific Ocean Welcome to this holy place |
