[Verse 1]
Kawea e Te Maro ngā manako
(Werohia te manu whati tai
Tukuna ia kia ora te iwi)
Arā ngā wawata, pakaru ai me te tai
(Karanga kore te eke o utu
Ko koe kē / (kei) te aronga o te pū)
(Kua) pakapaka te whenua (oohhhh)
Panaia au i taku papa kāinga (papa kāinga)
Mātaki noa ai te muranga
E kore rawa au e noho noa
[Pre-Chorus]
Hokona te ao ki ēnā piripiri puru
Me aha au i te papanga-rewha?
Kaiurutomo
Ko tō ringa mau pū, me rere, me tūohu rānei
Kia ora ai aku uri e Kuki
Kaiurutomo
[Chorus]
Te kōrero kua hora, he parau noa
Ehara i te kaitoro
He Kaiurutomo
Te hītori kua ākona
(Ko) tā te Raiona - “Kia māminga mai”
He kaipāhua
He Kaiurutomo
[Post-Chorus]
Nā te Kingi i tuku
Pāwharatia ngā uri
Waimehahia tе ira
Kia toa ai te kiritea
[Verse 2]
Kei ia tauranga
Ia rangatira kua apohia
Ka kakе ake ki taumata kē
Ko ō waihotanga kua hora
Mai i Ngā Moutere ki te- ao
(He) pakoko kua waiho noa
(Ohhhhhh) ko tā te kūare
He tipua, he atua (koe) (he atua koe)
Engari ko koutou
Kē te tira pū tangata
[Pre-Chorus]
Hokona te ao ki ēnā piripiri puru
Me aha au i te papanga-rewha?
Kaiurutomo
Ko tō ringa mau pū, me rere, me tūohu rānei
Kia ora ai aku uri e Kuki
Kaiurutomo
[Chorus]
Te kōrero kua hora, he parau noa
Ehara i te kaitoro
He Kaiurutomo
Te hītori kua ākona
(Ko) tā te Raiona - “Kia māminga mai”
He kaipāhua
He Kaiurutomo
[Bridge]
Nā te Kingi i tuku
Pāwharatia ngā uri
Waimehahia te ira
Kia toa ai te kiritea
Nā te Kingi i tuku
Pāwharatia ngā uri
Waimehahia te ira
Kia toa ai te kiritea
Kaiurutomo
(Kaiurutomo)
[Outro]
Hokona te ao ki ēnā piripiri puru
Me aha au i te papanga-rewha?
Kaiurutomo
Ko tō ringa mau pū, me rere, me tūohu rānei
Kia ora ai aku uri e Kuki
Kaiurutomo
