Kia Mau

Ka whiti te rā i runga i te katoa

Ka ua te ua i runga i te tangata

Ahakoa ko wai

Ahakoa nō hea

Ahakoa ōna whakaaro rerekē ki ōku ake

Pūmau ki te aroha

Ko tēnei te rongoa

Kia mau ki te rongo

Kia mau ki te aroha

Kia kaha ki te whakarongo

Kia mārama

He tapu te tangata

He tapu tōna mana

Kia mau ki te rongo

Ki te aroha

Aroha

Kia mau ki te rongo

Kia mua, kia mau!

Kia Mau - a translation

The sun shines on everyone

The rain falls on everyone

No matter who they are

No matter where they’re from

Even though their opinions might be different to mine

Hold on to love

This is the solution

Hold on to/Lay hold of peace

Hold on to/Lay hold of love

Be careful to listen

To understand

Every person is sacred

And so is their mana

Hold on to/Lay hold of peace

And love

Love

Hold on to/Lay hold of peace

Hold on, hold on!
