[Chorus]
Tiaho mai rā te marama
He māramatanga rā e
Te Hokowhitu-Toa-a-Tūmatauenga
Te Ruatekau-mā-waru e
Tiaho mai rā te marama
He māramatanga rā e
Te Hokowhitu-Toa-a-Tūmatauenga
Te Ruatekau-mā-waru e
[Verse 1]
Kua takitahi ngā whetū o te kāhui o Matariki
I houa he pō au, whiti ana te rā
He rongomau, he maungārongo ki te whenua
Taku Rātā tūtahi
Taku whakatiketike
Taku whakamarumaru e
Taku Rātā tūtahi
Taku whakatiketike
Taku whakamarumaru e
[Bridge]
I tautokotia te karanga o Ingarangi
Te tūwatawata mo te Iwi e
I kauparetia atu te kino
Me whakamanawa mai
Hau tonu tō rongotoa
Me whakamanawa mai
Hau tonu tō rongotoa
[Chorus]
Tiaho mai rā te marama
He māramatanga rā e
Te Hokowhitu-Toa-a-Tūmatauenga
Te Ruatekau-mā-waru e
Tiaho mai rā te marama
He māramatanga rā e
Te Hokowhitu-Toa-a-Tūmatauenga
Te Ruatekau-mā-waru e
[Verse 1]
Kua takitahi ngā whetū o te kāhui o Matariki
I houa he pō au, whiti ana te rā
He rongomau, he maungārongo ki te whenua
Taku Rātā tūtahi
Taku whakatiketike
Taku whakamarumaru e
Taku Rātā tūtahi
Taku whakatiketike
Taku whakamarumaru e
[Bridge]
I tautokotia te karanga o Ingarangi
Te tūwatawata mo te Iwi e
I kauparetia atu te kino
Me whakamanawa mai
Hau tonu tō rongotoa
Me whakamanawa mai
Hau tonu tō rongotoa
[Outro]
Hau tonu tō rongotoa
Hau tonu tō rongotoa
Hau tonu tō rongotoa
Hau tonu tō rongotoa
