Unuhia Te Rito

Unuhia te rito

Unuhia te rito o te harakeke

Kei hei te ko’mako e ko?

Ki mai ki au

He aha te mea nui o tenei ao

Maku e ki atu

He tangata, he tangata, he tangata

Pluck out the heart of the flax

Where will the bellbird sing?

Ask me,

What is the greatest thing of thi

s world?

And I will reply

It is people, it is people, it is people
