| Nā Te Moana rā ko te Wikitoria | |
| Hei whaka-maumahara-tanga e | |
| Ki o rātau tinana kei pāmamao | |
| Ki o rātau ingoa kei muri nei | |
| Enter boys into these arms outstretched here | |
| as fluttering is the flag, the flag in the skies over Germany | |
| Come back, come back to the village life | |
| Our wish has been fulfilled | |
| as fluttering is the flag, the flag in the skies over Germany. | |
| You return fewer in number, boys to the people waiting for you | |
| You have left many friends in foreign soil, among strange peoples | |
| The Victoria Cross won by Moana was a reminder | |
| Of the bodies far away and the memories with us still | |
