It is calling, calling, calling calling to you, New Zealand is calling to all the tribes of the land "Come, come, come   and join my tasks." Let the fishing nets out (Persuade lots of people..) Let them go out a long way (...to come and participate) Haul them in, haul them in, pull them in To take part in what we are doing here. I turn and look I turn and listen I turn, turn around to take part... ...in what are mine, in my customs, handed down from my ancestors, this haka, this poiand hand work. (action songs) I raise my greenstone blade, and my fighting staff. The spiritual power is my energizing force. Hold onto these things! Stamp your feet, stamp your feet so that everyone can hear you. Hold, hold fast, hold on to these customs. I turn and look I turn and listen I turn, turn around to take part in..... .....In what? In the activities, of my ancestors, the haka, the poi and action song. I raise my greenstone blade, and my fighting staff The spirituality energises me. Stamp your feet, stamp your feet so that everyone can hear you. Hold on, hold on, hold on to these customs. Yeah! right on!
