Karanga mai ko Te Kawerau A Maki, Ko Te Wao nui a Tiriwa
Mai Te Korekore ki Nga Tai a Rakataura
Ko Rangihina, Ko Whangaparaoa, Ko Mahurangi
Na Maki te mana me te rangatiratanga!
Te Kawerau A Maki, The descendents of Te Waonui a Tiriwa
From Te Korekore to the shores of Rakataura
There lies Rangihina, Whangaparaoa, Mahurangi
From Maki is our authority!
