Te Mihi
Mai-arara te maunga o Rangitumau e tu nei
Mai-arara te awa o Ruamahanga e tere nei
Mai-arara whakamaua kia tina
Tina-te-pu
Tina-te-aka
Tina-tamore-i-hawaiiki
Kia kotahi ko te kahui-ariki
Kia kotahi ko te kahui-tipua
Kia kotahi ko nga uri o Rangitane e tau nei
Haumi e, Hui e, Taiki e
There hither stands our sacred mountain Rangitumau
There hither flows our spiritual river Ruamahanga
There hither hold firm
Hold firm your origins
Hold firm your lineage
Hold firm your ancestral homeland
As the terrestrial bodies gather together
As the celestial bodies gather together
So also do the descendants of Rangitane
Connect, Combine, Together
