✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: 　WAIKATO lyrics　 :･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ✧

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 ē, 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, I’m 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)
