    Ono tekau ngā tau e kōkiri ana (auē) mō o mātou tikanga
    He tata wareware te tuhi toi, I tata ngaro ō mātou ritenga
    Koropehu ō mātou tōhunga, ka pēhia e te kuīnitanga
    I parea mātou e te mana moko I āu mahi kino

    Ko te hunga mau moko mātou
    E kore koe e mātau (e)
    Te tikanga tāmoko
    Kōrero tuku iho
    Tāngata Mau Moko

    Kua horahia e koe te kiri Māori hei whakaaturanga
    Hoki mai te mana, nā te ao taihara I whakaora (e)
    Ka whiua mai rā ō kanohi whakawā kei patu mai
    Otirā, ka whakamarua mātou e te moko I tō mauāhara

    Ko te hunga mau moko mātou
    E kore koe e mātau (e)
    Te tikanga tāmoko
    Kōrero tuku iho
    Tāngata Mau Moko
    Mau Moko
    Ko te hunga Mau Moko
    Hoki mai te mana

    Kō wai mātou ē!
    Ko nga tangata mau moko mātou
    Kīhai koe e māmara
    Ō mātou kōrero tuhi kiri
    Ō mātou kōrero tuku iho!

    Ko te hunga mau moko mātou
    E kore koe e mātau (e)
    Te tikanga tāmoko
    Kōrero tuku iho
    Tāngata Mau Moko

    Mohoao, makimaki, ao kōhatu, kōmuri Kao!
    Kō wai mātou ē!
    Ko nga tangata mau moko mātou e!
    Ko te hunga Mau Moko

      English translation

      For 60 years we fought for our tradition
      An art nearly forgotten, our practice almost lost
      The suppression of our tōhunga, suppressed by the crown
      Our moko protected us from your hate

      We are the people who wear moko
      You don’t understand
      The story in our markings
      The story of our ancestors
      We are the people who wear moko

      You displayed our skin as spectacle
      We have taken back our tradition, revived by a criminal world
      Your judging eyes try to hurt us
      But our moko protects us from your hate

      We are the people who wear moko
      You don’t understand
      The story in our markings
      The story of our ancestors
      We are the people who wear moko
      Wear moko
      We are the people who wear moko
      Restore our mana

      Who are we!
      We are the people who wear moko
      You don’t understand
      The story in our markings
      The story of our ancestors!

      We are the people who wear moko
      You don’t understand
      The story in our markings
      The story of our ancestors
      We are the people who wear moko

      Savage, monkey, stone age, backwards No!
      Who are we!
      We are the people who wear moko
      We are the people who wear moko
