Tu-waewae tapu ra
Tapuwae kotuku!
Tu mai, piki ake, kake ake
Ki runga ki nga taumata karangaranga
Ka titiro iho au ki nga huarahi
I haere ai oku matua tipuna,
ki te kimi oranga
Tu-waewae tapu ra
Tapuwae kotuku!
Tini nga hua, maha nga huarahi
Na noa e whakaata mai nei
Pua ana nga mau o te taiao
Tipu matoro, tipu matoro
Ki te ao!

Be it the hardened or uncalloused foot
Tread respectfully over these lands!
Come, we welcome you
Ascend these renowned platforms
From where it is clear to see the paths
My ancestors traversed,

Be it the hardened or uncalloused foot
Tread respectfully over these lands!
There is much to see and much to do
You need only follow the paths
Nature in all its glory
Strong and free
For all the world to see!
