WAIATA

Written by Floyd Rudolph

Kahanamoku ae e

Aloha mai I Hawaiki nui

Nau mai haere mai kia Rāwhiti 

New Brighton

​

He Ngarutoa rangatira

Kahanamokute poutokomagnawa hi!

Tihei mauri ora, Tihei Kahanamoku e

​

Rāwhiti te kaihanga

hei whakaheke ngaru e

No rangi no papa tangará te ariki

​

Kahanamoku ae e

he mihi atu i a tatou tatou

Nau mai haere mai kia Rāwhiti 

New Brighton
