Kare ratou e pakari, mei a ratou e vai nei, e pakari atu ra.

Kare e tuatua e akaroi ia ratou, kare katoa te mataiti, e akaapa ia ratou.

Mei te ra e opu atu ra i te aiai, e te itianga mai o te ra i te popongi.

E akamaara tatou ia ratou.

English Version:

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning,

We will remember them.
