Hymna Nového Zélandu se tradičně zpívá v maorštině (oficiální sportovní zápasy), popř. v angličtině. Tradičně se zpívá pouze první sloka. Zde kompletních pět slok v angličtině a maorštině a s mým volným překladem do češtiny.
| God of Nations at Thy feet
| E Ihowā Atua
| Bože národů, u Tvých nohou
|
| In the bonds of love we meet
| O ngā iwi mātou rā
| V poutech lásky se setkáváme
|
| Hear our voices, we entreat
| Āta whakarongona
| Slyš naše hlasy, prosíme tě
|
| God defend our free land
| Me aroha noa
| Bože, chraň naši svobodnou zemi
|
| Guard Pacific's triple star
| Kia hua ko te pai
| Střež trojitou hvězdu Tichomoří (Pacifiku)
|
| From the shafts of strife and war
| Kia tau tō atawhai
| od hřídel sporu a válek
|
| Make her praises heard afar
| Manaakitia mai
| Ať její chvály znějí daleko
|
