Purea nei e te hau

Purea nei e te hau

Horoia e te ua

Whitiwhitia e te rā

Mahea ake ngā poraruraru

Makere ana ngā here.

Scattered by the wind

washed by the rain

and transformed by the sun,

all doubts are swept away

and all restrains are cast down.

E rere wairua, e rere

Ki ngā ao o te rangi

Whitiwhitia e te rā

Mahea ake ngā pōraruraru

Makere ana ngā here,

Makere ana ngā here.     

Fly O free spirit, fly

to the clouds in the heavens,

transformed by the sun,

with all doubts swept away

and all restrains cast down.

Yes, all restrains are cast down.

Mahea ake ngā pōraruraru (kaea)

Makere ana ngā here

E rere wairua, e rere

Ki ngā ao (kaea), ki ngā ao o te rangi

Whitiwhitia (ngā tama), whitiwhitia

E te rā (kaea) e te rā

Mahea ake ngā pōraruraru (kaea)

Makere ana ngā here,

Makere ana ngā here.
