Our hearts are broken.

Our big blue-eyed beautiful boy has grown his wings far too soon.

koe kua whetūrangatia 

ki te korowai o Ranginui

koe kua wehe atu ki te pō 

Ki tua i te ārai 

Ki te okiokinga

O ō tatou tīpuna

Haere, haere, haere 

Moe Mai ra e mana tane

You who have been adorned as stars

In the heavens

You who have been departed to the night 

Beyond the veil 

To the resting place

Of our Ancestors 

Farewell, farewell, farewell 

Sleep our mana tane
