Текст пісні
Kei ngā kaipara i te ara
Te hunga o te whenua taurikura
Tē aro i kaha rawa te moemoeā
I kaha rawa
Ka hīkoi (ka hīkoi), tahi tātou
Tauri pua ki ō tātou pane
I te taiao ahurei, i tipu ai te rākau miro
Mahue mai ana ko ngā hua pirau
Auē
Auē
Auē
Auē
Mai i te papa ki te rangi rere ai
Honea ana nā te makerewhatu
Ihumanea mai pongipongi mai
(Kei te tūmanako rā)
Ka tanu ki wāhi kē
Ka hīkoi, ka hīkoi, tahi tātou (Takatakahia, takatakahia)
(Te ara i takoto i te rau tangata)
Tauri pua ki ō tātou pane (Ki ōku taumata okiokinga)
(Nau mai, nau ake)
(Takahia te ara)
(Whano ki tua)
(Takatakahia, takatakahia, takatakahia rā)
