Ponaturi

Ko ngā kōiwi o tōku matua
Takoto ki raro i te moana

I roto i te whare Manawa-Tāne
Ko te wharenui o ngā Ponaturi e, Ponaturi e

Whakahokia ngā kōiwi o tōku matua
Kei konei ahau e kimikimi utu ana
Whakahokia ngā kōiwi o tōku matua
Whakahokia ngā kōiwi ki tōna whenua

Ko ahau me ngā tāngata kotahi rau tekau mā whā
Mā runga te waka, te waka o Niwareka
Ka rere tātou ki te whare o ngā ponaturi
Ka whakangaro tātou ki te wharenui

I roto i te whare Manawa-Tāne
Ko te wharenui o ngā Ponaturi e, Ponaturi e

Whakahokia ngā kōiwi o tōku matua
Kei konei ahau e kimikimi utu ana
Whakahokia ngā kōiwi o tōku matua
Whakahokia ngā kōiwi ki tōna whenua

Kua tae mai tātou
Ka haere anake ahau
Me te kaha o ngā karakia
Ka whakamoke ahau mai ngā Ponaturi
Me te kaha o ngā karakia
Ka patu ahau ki ngā ponaturi

I roto i te whare Manawa-Tāne
Ko te wharenui o ngā Ponaturi e

Whakahokia ngā kōiwi o tōku matua
Kei konei ahau e kimikimi utu ana
Whakahokia ngā kōiwi o tōku matua
Whakahokia ngā kōiwi ki tōna whenua

Ponaturi e
