Kō te aroha anō he wai
E pūpū ake āna
He awa e māpuna mai āna
I roto i te whatumanawa
Ko tona mātāpuna he hōhonu
Ka ina ia ka rere anō (x2)
He tai timu, he tai pari
Te tai ope, te tai roa
He tai nui
He tai nui
Love unconditional is like a spring
that wells forth from the stream of one's inner soul
Such is the depth of its source
That is an endless flow
Like the ebbing tide, the depleting tide,
the rushing tide, the lengthy tide
Like the great tide of time
