Kua noho, i te tapa o te tai nei
Mai anō ki te tai nei
Ngākaurua ana e
Aue, ahakoa rā te kāinga
Ka hoki mai ki te moana
Ahakoa te aha

Huri ke atu, taka kē ana
Ia te ara, hoki kē rawa
Ki te tānga-o-taku-manawa rā
E hao nei e

Tiro kau atu ki tahatū-o-te-rangi
Tukuna ahau, kia rapa ahau
I runga i te hau-kahaki ki tawhiti
Ka taea ahau
Tukuna ahau, kei huri te tai, ka mau

He tau te iwi nei ki te kāinga
Koa ana taku kāinga
Ā-muri, ā-mua
Ia tangata o te kāinga
Ko whai tūranga māna
'Nā whai taku tūranga

Aratakina, hikitia rā
Ki te whaia pea ka rarata
Hoi i roto nei, hia kē ana
Aue taukuri!

Pīataata rawa te kārohirohi
Tukuna ahau, kia rapa ahau
Ki te tai e kārangaranga mai ki ahau e
Tukuna ahau, ki tawhiti rā
Kia pae tata

Tiro kau atu ki tahatū-o-te-rangi
Tukuna ahau, kia rapa ahau
I runga i te hau-kahaki ki tawhiti
Ka taea ahau
Tukuna au!
