Let the drums of Heaven sound,
Let the sparks fall to the ground.
I will not move, I will remain,
A dancer in His Holy flame.
Fire Dancer, ever true,
The flame in me,
burns because of You.
Kia tangi ngā pahū o te rangi,
Kia maringi ngā pua ahi ki te whenua.
E kore au e neke, ka noho tonu au,
He kaihaka i roto i tana ahi tapu.
Kaihaka ahi, pono tonu,
Te ahi i roto i ahau,
e ka ana nāu.
Ia fa‘alogo le pa o le lagi,
Ia pa‘ū mai fa‘ata‘ape le afi i le eleele.
Ou te le gaoioi, ou te tumau,
O se siva i le afi pa‘ia o Ia.
Siva afi, fa‘amaoni e faavavau,
O le afi i totonu ia te a‘u,
e mu ona o Oe.
Fakaongo ki e pa ‘o e langi,
Kuo tō e ngāahi ngaahi ‘e mamalie.
‘E ‘ikai te u ngaue, te u tu‘u pē,
Ko e taufa‘aki ‘i hono afi tapu.
Taufa‘aki ‘o e afi, mo‘oni ‘i taimi kotoa,
Ko e afi ‘i loto ia te au,
‘oku ‘uhinga koe‘uhi ko Koe.
Me rogo na lali mai lomalagi,
Me lutu sobu na bukawaqa ki vuravura.
Au na sega ni toki, au na tu ga,
Dau meke ena nona buka tabu.
Dau meke ni buka, dina tikoga,
Na buka e lomaqu,
e waqa baleta na Nomuni loloma.
