Rāhui Lifted

Rāhui Lifted

Kōrihi mai ngā manu o Tītīokura
Tākiri mai te ata ki runga i a tātou
Kua hīkina e Hineuru te rāhui ki te awa o Mōhaka
Ka wātea ka ao ka awatea!

As the manu of Tītīokura
Signal the dawn of a new day
The rāhui over our awa of Mōhaka is lifted.
The way is clear dawn beckons a new day!

Ngā mihi, nā
