Tarakihi

E, pakia kia rite 
E, ko te rite kia rite 
E, takahia kia ngawari 
E, torona kei waho 
Hoki mai 

E whakarongo ai au 
Ki te tangi mai 
A te manu nei, 

A te tarakihi, 
I te weheruatanga
o te po 

Tara ra-ta kita kita 
Tara ra-ta kita kita 

Wiri o papa, towene, towene 
Wiri o papa, towene, towene 

Hope whai-a-ke 
Turi whatia 
Ei! Ei! Ha!
