Kei Shenzhen, te Porowini o Guangdong, he wāhi ngahere ataahua.
Kei roto i tēnei whare he maha ngā paionia tiaki ngahere
Ka aroturukihia e rātou ngā tūponotanga ahi katoa
Kāore e taea e rātou te aroturuki i ngā taumata wai i te wā tūturu anake
Engari me tuku hoki i ngā whakaoho i ngā wā tino nui
Te āwhina i ngā kaitiaki ngahere ki te urupare tere ki ngā ahi
I tēnei rā
Ka haria koe e MEOKON ki tēnei ngahere hangarau matatau
Ki te tūtaki ki tēnei kaitiaki o te ngahere!
He mahi "uaua" i mua
15,000 eka o te ngahere maunga
E mahi ana i raro i te rā werawera, e werawera ana
Ngā whare me ngā taputapu kua tohatohahia puta noa i ngā rohe ngahere rerekē
He maha ngā hāora o te hikoi i ngā maunga
Te tere o te ngoikore o te tinana
He marino, he marino te ara o te ngahere,
Ka pakaru te marino o te ata i ngā tapuwae o te kaitiaki.
Ka tirotirohia, ka whakakorea hoki ngā tūponotanga ahi takitahi,
Te tiaki i te ngahere matomato me te ngākau māia.
Ahakoa te hau me te ua, i ia rā, i ia rā,
Mō ngā maunga matomato me ngā wai mārama katoa.
E whakapuaki ana i te ataahua o te kōanga puta noa i te whenua.
Te aroturuki i te rā katoa, te tiaki mohio i ngā ngahere.
