Ko te reo o ngā manu tērā
(There is the voice of birds)
ka tangi nei i te ao
(heralding daylight)
kua uru ko te rā
(as the sun enters)
ki waenganui i a Ranginui
(between the Sky Father)
i a Papatūānuku.
(and the Earth Mother.)
Ka noho ko Ranginui ki runga,
(Sky Father above,)
ko Papatūānuku ki raro,
(Earth Mother below,)
ka heke iho ko ngā roimata i a Ranginui,
(Rangi’s tears fall,)
ka hiki ake ko te kohu i a Papatūānuku.
(Papa’s mist rises.)
Ko te tohu tērā
(Thus being the sign)
