Te hoho'a, no te here
Image of love

E hoho'a, no te aroha
Image of mercy

No te mea e hoho'a, no te atua
Because of this, you are of God's

Papai'hia, a here atu
Thus it was written, thou shalt love thy neigbour

Papa'ihia, aroha atu
Thus it was written, thou shalt salute him anyway

Area ra to tiaturi raa
Don't give in to signs of doubts

Eiaha ia horo'a atu
But give away...


CHORUS (bis)

E hoho'a oe no te mata'i
Image of good that you are

E taeae ho'i no'u e
You're my brother no matter what

Ia roohia ra oe i te ati
Eventhough you fall into times of tribulations

E taata tupu oe no'u e
I'm your brother's keeper

E noatu to oe nei huru
No matter who you are

E noatu ta oe mau peu
No matter what you do

Eaha ia moe, i roto to oe mafatu
Don't forget that this may be written in your heart

Te parau te parau o te autaeaera'a
These words of solidarity

(Bis)

E te aroha, E he!!!
and of salute....
