E Rere Raa

E Rere Raa
E rere raa te motu nei
Ki roto koia hoo Parihaka
Naa Tohu raai whakahaere mai
Ngaa tikanga I tere paepae ai te
motu nei
To pikitanga kei te puurepo
To heketanga kei Toroaanui
Kia whakarongo koe ki te reka mai
A te korero, hei hei hei
Matau tonu au
Ki a koe e Tohu
Me te ngaakau whakapuke tonu
Me aha ia ra e mauru e
Ko te hau ka wheruu whakamoomotu
E whiuwhiu ana kei te uru e
Kei te tonga ka haramai ki roto
Ka kooharihari hei hei hei
O flow on
O flow on nation
Even unto Parihaka
It is Tohu who oversees
The procession of the people moving in line across the land
Your ascent is to the hill of cannons
Your descent is upon Toroaanui
Hear you now the sweetness
Of the discussions, it is confirmed
I still respect and love
You Tohu
My heart continues to well up
Although it appears to be calm
A destructive force has cut us down
Scattered us to the west
And to the south it penetrates, this
Deep pain does. It Is Affirmed.
