Taera

[Verse 1]
Tēnā, whakarongo mai rā
Whakarukea o tāera
Kia tangihia te ūmere
U-U-Umere
Kia kōhiti te marama
Kia ngaoko te moana
La tāua i nawa
Ana, Ana

[Pre-Chorus]
Papateretere e hine mā
Papateretere e tama mā
Papateretere jara
Tere

[Chorus]
Whakarukea o tāera, tāera, tāera i-a
Whakarukea o tāera, tāera, tāera i-a
Auaka sasali mai ra, e takitaki e nā!
Takere poua! E tukituki nā!
Whakarukea o tāera, tāera, tāera i-a

[Verse 2]
Whakarukea te tōnga
Kia semisemi mai te Nōta
Auahi ana te kī
Hei, te aweawe te aweawe
Tahi piti toru e
E hiti tā hiti e Te Tairōwhiti aue
Mataatua, Te Arawa, Takitimu, Tokomaru, Kurahaupō, Tainui

[Pre-Chorus]
Papateretere e hine mā
Papateretere e tama mā
Papateretere iara
Tere!

[Chorus]
Whakarukea o tāera, tāera, tāera i-a
Whakarukea o tāera, tāera, tāera i-a
Auaka sasali mai ra, e takitaki e nā!
Takere poua! E tukituki nā!
Whakarukea o tāera, tāera, tāera i-a

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Whakarukea o tāera, tāera, tāera i-a
Whakarukea o tāera, tāera, tāera i-a
Auaka sasali mai ra, e takitaki e nā!
Takere poua! E tukituki nā!
Whakarukea o tāera, tāera, tāera i-a

[Outro]
Takitaki, e tukituki nā, Takitaki
