As discussed mostly here, but also here, and here, we are nominating this specific Tangaroa version as our entry, as it was released in 2023. Note the song itself was released some time before this, we are assuming it's OK to nominate this version released in 2023 (we have backups if not!).

It's also on Spotify.

Sure!

Ko Papatuanuku me Ranginui nga matua o te a
I puta mai nga tamariki nga Atua o te ao
He Atua o te moana
Ko Tangaroa he Atua o te moana
Tu mai te ihi
Tu mai te wehiwehi
Tu mai te wanawana e
Hi ha aue

Here's a more literal translation: https://lyricstranslate.com/en/tangaroa-tangaroa.html-0

And here's a more poetic translation from someone: https://lyricstranslate.com/en/tangaroa-tangaroa.html

I'm not sure if the artist has ever provided their own translation.
