This song is built on the tune of the 1959 calypso song "Yellow Bird."
Ko mātou te rōpū mahi e,
Ko mātou te rōpū mahi e,
Ka papaki noa,
Ka titiro noa,
Ka tutuki noa,
Ka kikini noa
Kei te aroha,
Ki ngā taonga
Te iwi Māori e.
We are the work group,
we are the work group,
freely touching,
examining,
reaching out,
and grasping
with love,
the treasures
of the Maori people.
