[Verse 1/Tahi Whiti]
E ngau mai ana te hōtoke
Waiho mai ahau kia noho (Haere, hoatu koutou)
Nau mai te waru whakahihiko
Me puta rā? Ehara
[Pre-Chorus/Korihi Mua]
Hanahana ana ko taku kiri
Noho ana i te rēhia
Kei taku taha taku kaingākau (Kaingākau)
E te tī, te tā, tahuti mai rā

[Verse 2/Rua Whiti]

Kei taku taha taku kaingākau (Taku kaingākau)
E te tī, te tā, tahuti mai rā
Ki te ina i ngā hīhī o te rā

E puta i te pō ki te ao mārama (Rama, rama, rama)
Piri mai Hine-raumati
[Outro/Whakamutunga]
Taukamo kia puta rā koe ki te ao mārama, rama, mārama
Mārama, rama, mārama
Mārama, rama, mārama
Mārama, rama, mārama
Mārama, rama, mārama
Mārama, rama, mārama
