[Intro]
(Me) tūpou ki te maunga
Horoia e te awa
(E) mōhio ai ō tūpuna
Ka noho pūmau koe
Pāina i te rā
Ki tō tūranga waewae
(E) mōhio ai ō tūpuna
Ka noho pūmau koe

[Verse 1]
Toitū te whenua
Whatungarongaro te tangata
Ko au te huka, ko te huka ko au
He inuku ahau, ehara i te Ekimo

[Chorus]
Ko te tahua te atua
Mōhiotia whānuitia
Me kōrero kē e hoa
Toi tangata ki te upoko
He kaitiaki e
Mō ngā uri whakatipu
Mana whenua, mana moana
Mana tangata
[Verse 2]
(E te) matamatahuānga, kei te raki o te honu
(Kia kaha Āmerika)
Kua rangona (koe), kua kitea (koe) Kua tāmia
Hoki mai tōku iwi e
I patua i te rere o te reo
I tukuna koutou ki te kura patu wairua

[Chorus]
Kua motu te taka o tе roi
Ka pēhi i te noho tauwehe
Kāorе he mea i tua atu
I te Māori ka tū ki tōna ūkaipō
Pēhi mai, pēhi atu
Ka ū te tāmore mō ake tonu
Mana whenua, mana moana
Mana tangata

[Bridge]
Whawhai tonu mātou (ka whawhai, ka whawhai)
Ake ake tonu atu
Ka īnoi (ka īnoi) ki te marama, ki Tamanuiterā
Whāia (whāia, whāia) te taniwha, te taniwha
Ka ekea (Ka eke) ka patua, anā ka toa

[Verse 1 (Reprise)]
Toitū te whenua
Whatungarongaro te tangata
Te tangata
Te tangata
Te tangata
[Outro]
(Me) tūpou ki te maunga
Horoia e te awa
(E) mōhio ai ō tūpuna
Ka noho pūmau koe
Pāina i te rā
Ki tō tūranga waewae
(E) mōhio ai ō tūpuna
Ka noho pūmau koe
Ka noho pūmau koe
Ka noho pūmau koe
Ka noho pūmau koe
Ka noho pūmau koe
Ka noho pūmau koe
Ka noho pūmau koe
