Kaitaraiwa

Kaitaraiwa, hipa i tō Meri

Kia kitea tana kanohi

Kaua e auporo te moni

Kaitaraiwa, hipa i tō Meri

Kaitaraiwa, huri anō koa

Kaua e ware ki te pūtea

E hiahia kia kōrero māua

Kaitaraiwa, huri ano koa

Kaitaraiwa, ki te kāinga

Te āhua nei ka tōtahi rā

Ka tuku pea he ipo e Te Atua

Kaitaraiwa, ki te kāinga

Cab driver, drive by Mary's place

I just want a chance to see her face

Don't stop the meter, let it race

Cab driver, drive by Mary's place

Kaitaraiwa, ki te kāinga

Te āhua nei ka tōtahi rā

Ka tuku pea he ipo e Te Atua

Kaitaraiwa, ki te kāinga

Cab driver, better take me home

Kaitaraiwa, ki te kāinga!
