Translation Purrea nei

Purea nei e te hau

Horoia e te ua

Whitiwhitia e te ra

Mahea ake nga poraruraru

Makere ana nga here.

Scattered by the wind

washed by the rain

and transformed by the sun,

all doubts are swept away

and all restrains are cast down.

E rere wairua, e rere

Ki nga ao o te rangi

Whitiwhitia e te ra

Mahea ake nga poraruraru

Makere ana nga here,

Makere ana nga here.     Fly O free spirit, fly

to the clouds in the heavens,

transformed by the sun,

with all doubts swept away

and all restrains cast down.

Yes, all restrains are cast down.

Scattered by the wind

washed by the rain

and transformed by the sun,

all doubts are swept away

all restrains are cast down.

to the clouds in the heavens,

with all doubts swept away

and all restrains cast down.
