Kia tau te mauri
Mahia te mahi a te taiohi
I wawe rawa te pakeketanga
Kia hoki noa ki taua wā
Ahakoa tonu auahi ana
I te taha o ōku parata
Rere ana me he waka
Tē aro atu nei
Tē aro atu nei
Kei aro atu koe
Kei aro atu koe

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!
Poitūkohu, koinā te pakō!
Karekau he tīhau
Kāre au i whaumau
Karekau he Ūpa
Hikipapa ki te mōro
Hei, hei, oma atu i te tūtei
He tamariki haututū
Haere mai, āpiti tū
Koia aku tino tau
I tua o tāwauwau
Inumia te kawa
Haramai te mana
Ko te ihi me te wana, whītiki tāua!
Aua atu ana ko te wā
Hau ana te rongo i te Paeāhua
He Atapaki kia whai apataki
Huri te wā
Pūmau tonu ana
Kia tau te mauri
