THE ANTHEMS

GOD DEFEND NEW ZEALAND

The anthem has English and Maori lyrics, with slightly different meanings. When performed in public, the usual practice is to sing the first verse in both Maori and English.



Maori verse: "Aotearoa"

E Ihowa Atua,
O nga iwi matou ra
Ata whakarangona;
Me aroha noa
Kia hua ko te pai;
Kia tau to atawhai;
Manaakitia mai
Aotearoa

English translation (Karetu)

Lord, God over yonder,
Of all our nations
Listen to us gently,
With the infinite love
May the goodness bear fruit;
May your kindness come;
Please give protection to
Aotearoa


English verse: "God Defend New Zealand"

God of Nations at Thy feet,
In the bonds of love we meet,
Hear our voices, we entreat,
God defend our free land.
Guard Pacific's triple star
From the shafts of strife and war,
Make her praises heard afar,
God defend New Zealand.

TONGAN NATIONAL ANTHEM~

Ko e fasi 'o e tu'i 'o e 'Otu Tonga

Tongan lyrics (modern spelling)

'E 'otua mafimafi
ko homau 'eiki koe
ko koe ko e falala'anga
mo e 'ofa ki Tonga.
'Afio hifo 'emau lotu
'aia 'oku mau faí ni
mo ke tali homau loto
'o malu'i 'a Tupou.


English Lyrics

Oh almighty God above
Thou art our lord and sure defense
As your people, we trust thee
And our Tonga thou dost love
Hear our prayer for thou unseen
We know that thou hath blessed our land
Grant our earnest supplication
God save Tupou, our king.
