Ma te Pene

 

 

Ma te pene                                          By the pen

Ma te kitekite                                       By seeing ( each other )

Ka piri pono ai                                     Can we truly come together

Ka hono tahi ai                                    Can we band together

O tatou tinana                                     our bodies

Haere mai ra koutou                           Welcome all of you

Ki te awhina e                                     To help

I te ropu                                               this group

O nga tamariki                                    of children

E karanga nei                                      calling forth

E mihi atu nei                                      Greetings

Kia ora ra tamariki ma                        Good health children
