Cherish It
For the language's survival, speak itFor the language's survival, sing it
And so we are united
In our aspirations for the Māori language
We are all travelling the pathway of the language
You are at your stage of the journey, I am at mine
The language is yours
The language is mine
It is what links us to our ancestors
Cherish it one and all
Whether you make mistakes or are correct,
Whether there be ups and downs,
Have no fear, don’t be shy
Let it fly free
We are all travelling the pathway of the language
You are at your stage of the journey, I am at mine
The language is yours
The language is mine
It is what links us to our ancestors
Cherish it one and all
O Māori language,
You define me as Māori
And I will keep you alive
The language is yours
The language is mine
It is what links us to our ancestors
Cherish it one and all
The language is yours
The language is mine
It is what links us to our ancestors
Cherish it one and all
One and all
One and all
One and all
Cherish it one and all
The language is yours
