waikato, auee, teenei ahau too mokopuna (oh Waikato, here I am, your grandchild)
kia purea mai anoo e ngoou waiaroha (to be cleansed once more by your loving waters)
tooku awa koiora me ngoou pikonga he kura tangihia o te maataamuri (my river of life, each of your curves is more beautiful than the last)
e rere Waikato Δ, tooku whaea (so rush forth, Waikato, my mother)
waikato ko koe hei manawa moo toou iwi (Waikato, you are the heart for / of your people / tribe)
e kore e wehea koe he mauri tuutahi ee (you are a single indivisible being - never separated)
waikato horopounamu auee
waikato toimaha rau
(Oh Waikato, the swallower of greenstone!
Waikato who prevents a hundred chiefs from uttering their final death wishes)
e rere ee, tooku whaea ee, tooku tupuna - auee toou mana
(so flow forth, my mother, my ancestral river, Iβm in awe of your power)
te awa e rere iho nei (this river that flows towards me)
he wai oranga (is healing water)
kaumaatua ake maatou i ngoou wai manaaki (your nurturing waters grow us from birth through to old age)
E rere, e kato koe aake ake, tooku Waikato (So rush, flow, forever more, my Waikato)
