He taua, He taua!
Waewae tapu takahi te ara taua
Ka hopungia e maha nga upoko
Ka hopungia e maha taurekareka
E mahi nga mahi a Tūmatauenga
Anei rā
Te uhi o Mataora
Pai tuarā
Te kokongapere
Nga rape
Te kitemaimairu
Tatua taua
Nga tā moko puhoro
Anei nga tohu a Tūmatauenga
He pakanga nunui mo te whakautu
Tae mai nga tūpuna mo te whakaāwhina
Kia mau nga Tohunga mo te whakakarakia
E mahi nga mahi a Tūmatauenga
Anei rā
Te uhi o Mataora
Pai tuarā
Te kokongapere
Nga rape
Te kitemaimairu
Tatua taua
Nga tā moko puhoro
Anei nga tohu a Tūmatauenga
A Tūmatauenga
A Tūmatauenga
A Tūmatauenga
A Tūmatauenga
Mahi nga mahi a Tūmatauenga
Mahi nga mahi a Tūmatauenga
Mahi nga mahi a Tūmatauenga
Mahi nga mahi a Tūmatauenga
Whakatangi o nga pū, whakapatu nga taiaha
Te kikokiko rekareka ō aku hoariri
Nga umu whakakīa tātau kōpū ki te utu
E mahi nga mahi a Tūmatauenga
Anei rā
Te uhi o Mataora
Pai tuarā
Te kokongapere
Nga rape
Te kitemaimairu
Tatua taua
Nga tā moko puhoro
Anei nga tohu a Tūmatauenga
Waewae tapu takahi te ara taua
Waewae tapu takahi te ara taua
Waewae tapu takahi te ara taua
Waewae tapu takahi te ara taua
Warrior's Call
A warrior, A warrior!
Sacred feet tread the warrior's path
Many heads will be captured
Many enemies will be caught
The deeds of Tūmatauenga are at work
Here it is
The cloak of Mataora
Good support
The battle cry
The drums
The war dance
Prepare for battle
The tribal tattoos flash
Here are the signs of Tūmatauenga
A great battle for the answer
The ancestors come to help
Let the priests hold the prayers
The deeds of Tūmatauenga are at work
Here it is
The cloak of Mataora
Good support
The battle cry
The drums
The war dance
Prepare for battle
The tribal tattoos flash
Here are the signs of Tūmatauenga
Oh Tūmatauenga
Oh Tūmatauenga
Oh Tūmatauenga
Oh Tūmatauenga
The deeds of Tūmatauenga are at work
The deeds of Tūmatauenga are at work
The deeds of Tūmatauenga are at work
The deeds of Tūmatauenga are at work
Sound the trumpets, strike with the staffs
The flesh of my enemies is sweet
The ovens fill our bellies with revenge
The deeds of Tūmatauenga are at work
Here it is
The cloak of Mataora
Good support
The battle cry
The drums
The war dance
Prepare for battle
The tribal tattoos flash
Here are the signs of Tūmatauenga
Sacred feet tread the warrior's path
Sacred feet tread the warrior's path
Sacred feet tread the warrior's path
Sacred feet tread the warrior's path
