(Hinewehi Mohi & Jaz Coleman)

Pine te kura, hau te kura
Whanake te kura i raro i Awarua
Ko te kura nui, ko te kura roa
Ko te kura na Tuhaepo

Mokemoke ana au, mamori ana
e kore rawa he kupa totutohu
mohio ai ahau, me pehea ra
te whai i te honotanga atu ki te iwi e

Nga kanohi ora i o ratou
kua wheurangitia

Meaning:

Precious feather,
feather of great renown
feather moving forward onto Awaru
the feather that has hailed from Tuhaepo

I am left alone, a sole survivor
left with no guidance
not given the knowledge, or guidance
in search for my tribal heritage

Those that have passed on
will always live on in their offspring
