[Intro]
Ka tangihia e te manu i Hawaiki, (ka) tū tonu te iwi
Turakina te kāinga, tahu ana te rangi, ka oho te iwi
Ka tangihia e te manu i Hawaiki, (ka) tū tonu te iwi
Turakina te kāinga, tahu ana te rangi, ka oho te iwi
[Chorus]
Tukuna te amokura i te herenga taniwha
Tāria roa ai tō aroha
Tahuna te ngahere
Kore rawa ahau e hinga
Tāria roa ai tō aroha
[Verse 1]
Mana motuhake
Ko te whāinga roa (Tino rangatiratanga)
Tino rangatiratanga
He hua parau noa te waha papāho
E oho, e ara, maranga rā
[Pre-Chorus]
Pēhia roa e tamatama
Matika te tangata whenua
[Chorus]
Tukuna a Pāpua i te herenga taniwha
Tāria roa ai tō aroha
Tahuna te ngahere
(E) kore rawa ahau e hinga
Tāria roa (ai tō aroha)
[Verse 2]
Tāmia te ariki, ka ngaua e te riri
E kore e herea ēnei mātātoa
Kanaka mā
E tū ki runga
Mō te whenua, mō te moana
[Pre-Chorus]
Kawea e te aurere
Mā te patopato ko-e ka aha?
Whakatinanahia
[Chorus]
Tukuna a Pāpua i te herenga taniwha
Tāria roa ai tō aroha
Tahuna te ngahere
(E) kore rawa ahau e hinga
Tāria roa (ai tō aroha)
