A taka nga po i runga o Tararua
A tatou korero hoki ra, ē aue,
A taua korero i,
Aku mate kia nui,
Angiangi hauraro e kakawa mai nel,
Angiangi hauraro, Matahehengi mai!
Angiangi mai ra e te ao whakarua,
Atua ai, e Pou, ko Te Aopaturangi;
Atua, e Warakihi,
Auē, e tama! Te Apaapa-o-te-rangl,
Auē! Auē! He aha ra

E au mahara nui, e au mahara kore,
E hika hoki koe! E kai nei i ahau;
E hika hoki, e kuika nei,
E hika ma ē, utaina mai ra
E hika ma! Kia ata
E hine aku! Kati te whakaniho!    
E hine rongo kino ki te iwi, ē i!   
E hine tangi kino, kati ra te tangi
E hine, e moe nei, kati ra ko te moe!
E hine! Tangihia te rae haumatao,
E Hinga! E tangi i roto te wharekino,
E kai noa ana i te kai,
E kainga iho ana e au nga kai ki roto ra
E Ke ma! Tēnei hoki ra roto i ahau...
E kore ano e ahiahi   
E kore au e tangi ki oku nei matua;  
E kore e aiahi ka rau au te mahara,
E kore i au e noho   
E kore te roimata e puritia
E koro ma i Kaiapoi!
E koro tikino!
E kui Akahore, ka haere taua,
E kui ma ē, whakarongohia ake
E kui ma, ē katahi hanga kino, ē
E kui ma, e! Homai he nohonga
E kui ma! E koro ma!
E kui, Kumara! Tēnei te whare i moe ai,
E kuia ma! Katahi taru porearea ko nga...
E moe ra, e Pare-ringamutu!
E muri ahiahi ka totoko te aroha
E muri ahiahi takoto ki te moenga, ē
E muri ahiahi takoto ki te moenga, E tia...    
E muri ahiahi takoto ki te moenga, Ka rau... 
E muri ahiahi, kia hoki mai au i Te Piki....
E muria po kia moe huri ko au anake,
E noho ana ano i toku taumata ra...
E noho ana ano i toku taumata, i Tiheia;
E noho ana hoki e whakamoea ana
E noho ana hoki, e whakamoea ana.
E noho ana i te papatahi a taku koro,
E noho ana i te ranga maheuheu
E noho ana i te whatitoka o toku whare,
E noho ana i toku koko ki Waihora,   
E noho ana ka kohuki e roto
E pa koia ki te hauraro ē
E pa tō hau he wini raro ...
E paki ra, te paki o Autahi
E pari ra koia nga tai
E pari, e te tai, o te Akau ra ia,
E piki ana ra inga pikitanga,
E Rae, tangi kino i roto te wharekino,
E Rangi aku, I nunumi ake nei,
E rere e te ao e kume i runga ra
E rere e te ao e kume i runga ra!
E rere e te ao, takawe i runga ra,
E roto i ahau e whanawhana noa ra
E taka ki te raro homai koia ra te aroha
E tama i kimihia
E tama i whanake i te ata o Pipiri
E tama na Tau, ē
E tama! e tangi i roto o Wairoa!
E tangi e te ihu, e waitohu ana koe
E te tamaiti e tie kino nei i te po,
E timu ra koe e te tai nei    
E titi koia e te atarau,
E titi te kohiti
E tiu taku manu, ē!
E to e te ra, t6 atu ki te rua
E to ra koia ko te ra,
E to, e te ra! Hohoro te ngaro atu,
E to, e te ra! Rere whakawai ana ia...
E toe te ra, e, wawe te rehu atu
E tu ra, e whare ē,
E ua ra koe, e te ua,
E ua, e te ua, Ringitia kia nui,
E whiti, e te hoa,ē,
E whiti, e te ra,
E whiti, e te ra, e maene ki te kiri! 
E whiti, e te ra! Ka pai hoki koe,
E...I te tekau ma wha u 
Engari te kaiatua e purea e ora
Engari te titi e tangi haere ana 
Enoho ana au ite roro o toku whare
Erangi ra ia ki Te Ratorua

Haere ra, e te kai
Hare ra, e hika, koutou ko o matua
He aha kai te rangi, ka tihorea nei?
He aha ra kei tuku ihu, e waitohu...
He aha ra te hau e pupuhi mai nei?
He aha rawa ra, Te hau, e koheri ...
He mahi a waha i rangona e au
He manu, he manu whakarere hua
He maunga tt noa nga puke i uta ra,ē,
He mea pai, e te hoa,
He mokai Rangiteki ne te Pananehu,
He rangi au e tatari, he raro...
Hei kona ra, e whare kikino,
Huhu noa ana rapurapu noa ana,

I taka mai te ui me taua i hea?
I tawhiti ano te rongo o te pu

Ka eke ki Wairaka ka tahuri whakamuri
Ka hewahewa au ki te nohanga
Ka mea e te muri, ka ta mai te takahi
Ka mea, e koro, ka unga mai i ahau
Ka mea, e tama! ka roii te kete tuauri,
Ka pau hoki ra e taua nei hau
Ka piki i Totara, ka eke i Pukekura,
Ka riro ra, e, te momo o te tangata,
Kai kinikini ai te mamae i ahau, ē
Kanakana ana mai 
Kāore hoki e te po nei tuarua rawa ko...
Kāore hoki taku whakatakariri ki aku...
Kāore hoki te hinapouri,
Kāore hoki, ē, te mamae
Kāore hoki te mānukanuka (Te Kooti)
Kāore hoki te mānukanuka (Te Potangaroa)
Kāore taku raru ko au nei anake (Tuhoe)
Kāore taku raru ko au nei anake (N.Porou)
Kāore taku raru, e titoa mai nei.
Kāore taku raru, tē mohiotia
Kāore te aroha e huri i roto ra,
Kāore te aroha e huri i runga ra o aku...
Kāore te aroha i ahau ki taku potiki!
Kāore te aroha kai kino ana roto ...
Kāore te aroha kai rikiriki ana
Kāore te aroha ki toku kokara, kia...
Kāore te aroha mohukihuki noa
Kāore te aroha o taku nei manu 
Kāore te ki patu te makere noa i te ngutu
Kāore te korero kino, te haohao nunui
Kāore te mamae e wahi ake nei,
Kāore te mamae kai kinikini ana
Kāore te mamae, ngau kino ki te hoa
Kāore te matao te kimonga ki te whare
Kāore te ngongirua o te tau ra...
Kāore te po nei te mariri te hau
Kāore te whakama tuakiri rawa mai i te...
Katahi pai kino te tu tapatapa te mamae,
Kati ra, e hika, te takoto i raro o Papa...
Kati, e Tama, te noho i to whare!
Kauaka e Koru, e tino nuia mai!
Kauwhautia mai te kauwhau o te kino,
Kei hua mai, Pokia, kei te mahara rua,ē,
Ki rawa atu au,ē,
Kia horo te tahuti,ē, nga mata ria kopanga
Kia mate koe, e Wai, ē,
Kikiki Kakaka
Ko wai ka mohio ki te tito waiata
Koe ao paraki
Kokirikiri ai te whetu,
Kore ra ia, e hine,
Kumea atu ra, e i, toia atu ra

Makere-whatu, e tangi nei, kati ra...
Marino! Marino!
Mataotao ana te karanga i te ata
Mataotao ana te panga mai o te kiri
Me huruhuru manu te rere a te ao
Moe mai, e tama, i runga te onepu
Moe rawa iho nei ki te po
Muri hauata kia moehuri au,

Na te atua ranei koe, na te whakahi?
Nau mai, e hine! Ki te ao turoa...
Nau mai, e tama, kia mihi atu au
Nei ka noho i te po roa o Matiti,
Nei ka noho i te pouritanga,   
Nei ka noho i te ra o te waru,
Nei ka noho, kapakapa tt ana
Nei ka noho, Tirohanga maru kore
Noho Noa Meremere, kauai te tangata
Noho noa Whatitata,  

One hunga, one rere, i aue oho
Ore te koera! Kei te ngahae
Ore te mokemoke te tuohu noa nei

Pa to hau ki Te Tawaihora;
Pakipaki kau au ki te kapa rangatira,
Pakipaki ti au i te rau o Mangatoa
Papa te whatitiri, ka hiko te uira,
Pinepine te kura,
Pinepine te kura, (Paraire Tomoana)      
Pinohia ki te kowhatu
Pipiwharauroa! Kawekawea!
Po! Po! E tangi ana tama ki te kai mana!
Poia atu taku poi,
Pokarekare ai te pounamu rama nei!
Pu rakau e tu mai nei, ē!
Purei kohu e whakatoro ra,

Ra Meremere tauhakai ana
Ra te ao uru, pukohu i te uru,
Ra te ao-uru ka tauhere
Ra te haeata takina mai i te ripa
Ra te haeata takiri ana mai
Ra te haeata toea ake,
Ra te kokiri tohu tonu ki te rae,
Ra te marama ka riakina mai Pukekura
Ra te tai uru, ka koto ki te awa
Ra te uira ka hikoi te rangi!
Ra te wheta ka mahuta i te pae
Rangi korerehu i marewa atu ai
Rangitumua e noho mai ra
Rongo korero au ki te tangata,

Ta tapairu,ē, tenei haramai nei!
Ta tonu ko te rae, ē, i haere ai te makau
Tahuna mai te ahi ki runga ia Te Pou
Tai o Koroki, ē
Takarokaro noa ana, te whetu maori...
Takataka ptitai he homai arohaē,
Takiri ko te ata, Ka ngau Tawera,
Takiri ko te ata, Ka rere ko te ra
Takiri ko te ata, kua whitirere au
Takiri ko te ata!
Takiri mai ra nga hau o te ata!
Takiri mai te ata i tua, ko te ata i au ē i
Takoto ai te marino, horahia i waho ra
Takoto iho ki taku moenga,
Takoto mai, e hika, i runga i te atamira,
Takoto mai, e koro, i roto o Te Okaraka,ē
Takoto maroke ana te kauanga i Mohua,
Takoto ra, e hine, I to urunga
Takoto rawa iho ki te po
Taku aroha ki taku whenua
Taku hou k6tuku, Ka whati i te ra,
Taku kuri,ē, ko Te Tangi-ta-puhi-kura
Taku mea e haramai nei, e,
Taku mokopuna,ē!
Taku pere ra, e tu nei
Taku potiki ka whano koe...
Taku potiki, e, ko Wharau-rangi e!
Taku rakau, tau rawa ki te whare
Taku takiri e whakarawerua ana,
Taku tamaiti poti, e hohoro ...   
Taku tamaiti, ē! I puta mai ra koe
Taku tiranga ake i te ihi o te whare
Taku tirotiro noa, taku hono tatai
Taku wehi ki te rangi,
Taku whakatakariri, taku whanowhanoa   
Tangi atu, Tangi atu au
Tangi taukiri ai, e, te mamae ra!
Tangi te riroriro tuarua rawa mai
Tangi ti mai, tangi rere mai
Tangihia mai ra te tangi... (Te Arawa)
Tangihia mai ra te tangi... (Tuwharetoa)
Taria ra mata kia rere Kopu
Taringa i whakarongo te haruru...
Tariri rua ana, Mai te haeata
Te ao o te parera e rere kopae ra,
Te atua Matakore, ē
Te kiri o te tau i haere kahukore!
Te pikitia ai ki Te Ahimanu nei
Te roa o te po e oho ai au   
Te rongo o te pu, kei a Nga Puhi
Te rongo o te tito, e, ra runga ana mai...
Te tai ra! te tai whakarongo ki
Te wharau a te tini! 
Tēnei au te hihiri nei te keu nei
Tēnei au, e ta ma! 
Tēnei ka noho e au, ka hē noa i te waka,
Tēnei ka noho i te kopa whare i Tataurangi
Tēnei ka noho, ka hihiri ngakau o tangata
Tēnei ka noho, kahore nei aku tohu,
Tēnei ka nohoi roto te whare-nui
Tēnei Pounamu-moe-hau te tangi nei na
Tēra hoki koia te pae tonga
Tēra ia nga hangariki
Tēra ia nga pikitanga Tipare o Niu, ē
Tēra ia nga tai o Honipaka
Tēra ia nga torouka,
Tēra ia ou mahara   
Tēra ia te ata taua
Tēra ia te pae whenua
Tēra koia te whetu, i iri ake i te puta o e...
Tēra Kopu hikitia i te pae
Tēra Kopu hikitia i te ripa,
Tēra Matariki huihui ana mai.
Tēra nga tai, E aki te rae, O Mangauika...
Tēra nga whata ka moiri kei Parininihi,
Tēra Taranaki te tu mai ra
Tēra Tariao ka kokiri kai runga
Tēra Tariao ka mōiri ki runga
Tēra Tawera, na te ata i hoake!
Tēra te ao tonga ka whakahinga kei...
Tēra te ao uru whakahekeheke ana
Tēra te ata iti hohoro mai koia
Tēra te haeata hapai ana mai
Tēra te komaru kia ata haramai
Tēra te kotuhi auahi ana ...
Tēra te marama ka mahuta i te pae!
Tēra te marino, whakaipuipu ana ia ...
Tēra te pakohu mau tonu mai i Pukehina
Tēra te pakēao whakakuru i Okakawa
Tēra te pokeao ka riakina
Tēra te uira e hiko i te rangi
Tēra te uira hikohiko ana mai
Tēra te uira, kok            irikiri ana,
Tēra te wheti taukamo i te rangi,ē!
Tēra te whetu kamokamo ana mai
Tēra Wharahi, tauriparipa o te rangi!
Tiketike rawa mai Te Waiwhero
Tikina atu, utuhia mai ki te wai
Tikina e koe ki te po a Renau ...
Tirohia ki te rangi, e parewaikohu ana
Tirohia Matariki,
Tirotiro kau ana au,ēi
Titaka kau ana nga manu o te ata
To ra koia te ra
Toea mai ra te ata i Houhora!
Toea mai ra te ata i ngarahu,
Torikiriki ana te tangi mai i tawhiti,
Tuatia au, e Kio,
Tuku ra, e te waikohu o te whitu

Uwhi mai te rangi i runga nei

Waiho koutou kia pti ana
Whakarewaia taua ki taio nga muri
Whakarongo! Whakarongo ra te taringa
Whakarongohia atu, tēnei te toki ka pa
Whakatitu ai te kapua i te rangi
Whakatutu ai nga toko o te rangi,
