Ko hea, Ko hea tērā maunga e tū mai rā
Ko Taranaki pea,
Nukunuku mai, nekeneke mai
Ki taku tauaro kikini ai e ha!
Aha kekeke noa, kekeke noa
What is the name of that place, what is the name of that peak standing forth? It is Taranaki. Come forward, draw close. In our presence, feel and acknowledge our affirmation. As our hearts beat with conviction.
