text: Kei ngā kaipara i te ara
  Te hunga o te whenua taurikura
  Tē aro i kaha rawa te moemoeā
  I kaha rawa
  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 Tahi tātou
  Tauri pua ki ō tātou pane
  Ka pēhea te aroha i te mea ka ngaro?
