God Defend New Zealand

1870년대초 토마스 브래큰(Thomas Bracken)이 가사를 쓴 뒤  작곡을 위해 10기니를 내걸었다. 1940년 오타고 학교 선생님이었던 존 조셉 우즈(John Joseph Woods)가 뉴질랜드 센테니얼 카운슬의 추천을 받아 이 상금을 받았다.  그 뒤 정부는 영국 여왕의 동의를  얻어 1977년 저작권 구입과 함께  'God Defend New Zealand'를 공식 국가로 선포했다. God Defend New Zealand는 이때부터 비로서 God Save the Queen과 함께 뉴질랜드 국가의 하나로 동등한 지위를 획득했다.  보통 영어 1절 뒤 마오리어 1절을 이어  부르게 됩니다. 

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.

 

Men of every creed and race,
Gather here before Thy face,
Asking Thee to bless this place,
God defend our free land
From dissension, envy, hate,
And corruption guard our State.
Make our country good and great,
God defend New Zealand.

 

Peace, not war, shall be our boast,
But, should foes assail our coast,
Make us then a mighty host,
God defend our free land
Lord of battles, in Thy might,
Put our enemies to flight,
Let our cause be just and right,
God defend New Zealand.

 

Let our love for thee increase,
May thy blessings never cease,
Give us plenty, give us peace,
God defend our free land.
From dishonour and from shame,
Guard our country's spotless name,
Crown her with immortal fame,
God defend New Zealand.

 

May our mountains ever be
Freedoms ramparts on the sea,
Make us faithful unto Thee,
God defend our free land.
Guide her in the nation's van,
Preaching love and truth to man,
Working out Thy glorious plan,
God defend New Zealand.

 

The National Anthem in Maori

E Ihoa Atua,
O nga Iwi matoura
Ata whaka rongona;
Me aroha noa
Kia hua ko te pai;
Kia tau to atawhai;
Manaakitia mai
Aotearoa.

 

Ona mano tangata
Kiri Whero, kiri ma,
Iwi Maori Pakeha,
Repeke katoa,
Nei ka tono ko nga he
Mau e whakaahu ke,
Kia ora marire
Aotearoa

 

Tona mana kia tu
Tona kaha kia u;
Tona rongo hei paku
Ki te ao katoa
Aua rawa nga whawhai
Nga tutu a tata mai;
Kia tupu nui ai
Aotearoa

 

Waiha tona takiwa
Ko te ao marama;
Kia whiti tona ra
Taiawhio noa.
Ko te hae me te ngangau
Meinga kia kore kau;
Waiho i te rongo mau
Aotearoa

 

Tona pai me toitu
Tika rawa, ponu pu;
Tona noho, tana tu;
Iwi no Ihoa.
Kaua mona whakama;
Kia hau te ingoa;
Kia tu hei tauira;
Aotearoa.
