When a Child Is Born

Hello, ho, the birds in the sky

A tiny star lights up way up high

All across the land dawns a brand new morn

This comes to pass when a child is born

A silent sail to the seven seas

The winds of change disturb in the trees

And the wolves of doubt crumble dust and dawn

This comes to pass when a child is born

Mpete iti punewu maera

Mpete umanako kia te marama

Kutaeteau, Ayateteatau

Keapenepanau, Maheetamau

All across the land dawns a brand new morn

This comes to pass when a child is Born
