Kowhiti19, kei hea tōu mārie?
Covid 19, where is your calm?
E te momo kaitangata, kei hea tōu āiotanga?
O human-eating species, where is your serenity?
Ngaua i runga, ngaua i raro.
Devouring from above, devouring from below
Ngaua i tata, ngaua i mamao.
Consuming from close by, consuming from afar
Pōkaihia tōu takapau hei waha i tō mate hei hoa mōu.
Wrap your ceremonial mat of death as your friend to accompany you,
Waiho mai mātou hei apakura ki ērā kua kāhakihia e koe,

Huia te pō
Huia te kāhui wairua kia pū tahi, kia pū tini, kia pū mano
Huia te ao mārama
Huia te manawa taki ora kia mae, kia rāwakiwaki, kia ea te haku tangi ake nei.
Kua tau te ataata o te maunga tītōhea ki te raki, ki te tonga, ki uta, ki tai.
He aha kei tōna ataata? He kohu, he roi, he tōmairangi; he maimai aroha i te kāhui rangi ki te nukuroa. He pokenga whenua, he pokenga whatumanawa. Ko koe, e koro, kei te tauihu, kei te taurapa, kei te riu o tōu waka; ko koe ki te hoe, ko koe ki te urungi; nāu te taki e pae ai tōu waka ki uta, ki reira okioki e. Haere e koro, Huirangi, ki te takotoranga tē maunuhia anō ai.
