[Verse 1]
Kua panaia i te ahiahi
Kua heke tō mana ki te ata
Kei ā Tone, kei ā Piri he kōrero kē
Ko tātahi kua muia e te tou areare
Hāhā te whenua
Haoa noa ai te tahua
[Pre-Chorus]
Aukatihia ō waka huia
(Kei) whakarirohia e Ngā Motu
(He) kaiapo kē, (he) mihikore koe
Nō mua rā (i) te taenga (o te) Pākehā
Te hakirara mau rākau
(Whakahīhī)
He reo tē aro atu ai
(Whakahīhī)
Nā te rākau i whakaako ai
Whakangaro atu ko te Māori e
[Chorus]
Ka tū tonu uuuuuu
Hei aha kē tāu
Ka tū kaha tonu
[Verse 2]
Mīia te pune hiriwa
Kainga, buena petite-o
El Gringo - (Puta que pariu)
Nā te kaikiri o te whakaaro
Kua raru koe i tе tikanga
Ko wāu ka ngau ki te puku
[Pre-Chorus]
Ehara te kupu i te hеrekore
Ka noho koe hei marurenga
Ka whakatau ngā whai rawa
I te tikanga aukati
Te hakirara mau rākau
(Whakahīhī)
He reo tē aro atu ai
(Whakahīhī)
Nā te rākau i whakaako ai
Whakangaro atu ko te Māori e
[Chorus]
Ka tū tonu uuuuuu
Hei aha kē tāu
Ka tū kaha tonu
[Chorus]
Ka tū tonu uuuuuu
Hei aha kē tāu
Ka tū kaha tonu
