Kia mau ki tō ūkaipō
Kia mau hoki ki tō whānau
Kia mau ki tō ūkaipō
I tangata ai koe
I hari mai i a koe
Kia mau ki tō ūkaipō
Kia mau hoki ki tō whānau
Kia mau ki tō ūkaipō

Tangata pai a Hone
Pakari ana te tū mai
Takatū ana, tāria ana e te ao
Tē hoki mai, tē auraki mai
Ngaro ana i a ia te mana
He ao hurihuri, he ao horihori
Tāweko ana te taura tangata
Motu ana te taura karawa, ā…

Pōhēhē ana a Hēni
I te huarahi tika ia
Mahue ngā hoa, haere atu ana
Tē huri mai anō
Ngaro ana i a ia te mana
Kimi tikanga hou, he ao horihori
Tāweko ana te taura tangata
Motu ana te taura karawa, ā…

Ka mate! Ka mate! Ka ora! Ka ora!
Ka mate! Ka mate! Ka ora! Ka ora!
Tēnei te tangata pūhuruhuru
Nāna nei i tiki mai
Whakawhiti te rā
Upane, ka upane
Upane, ka upane
Whiti te rā!

Puta ana he kupu, waipuketia atu ana
Kua kore he kupu

He āhuatanga tōu, e tōreretia nei
Tiro mai koe anō i patua
Mahue ko ngākau marū

Miere ana te tinana

Koinei i roa ai

Kia hoki noa ki taua wā
Ahakoa tonu auahi ana

Rere ana me he waka
Tē aro atu nei

Hoki ngā mahara
Ki taku tamarikitanga
Karekau ō tiriki
Uuu te mauri
Ā muri kura, papa reti
Hui mai te kāhui
Ki te tōnga o te rā, papa reti
Kimihia he panekoti
Hoake ki te tāone
Momi taru me he tāne
Me whakanui i te tau hou
Ahakoa karekau he moni
E pōhara ana me he hauhau
Hei aha te pouaka whakaata
Ka pāinaina i ngā hīhī o te rā

Tipu rawa kore mai ana hō!

Karekau he tīhau

Hei, hei, oma atu i te tūtei
