E pari rā e ngā tai
ki te ākau.
E hotu rā ko taku manawa.
Aue! Me tangi noa
Ahau i muri nei
Te iwi e
He ngākau tangi noa.

Chorus:
Tēnā rā! Tahuri mai!
E te tau! te aroha.
Tēnei rā ahau te tangi nei.
Mōhou kuā wehea nei.
Haere rā! mahara mai.
E te tau! kia mau ki au.
Haere rā! ka tūturu ahau.
Haere Rā!

Haere rā e tama
Haere rā.
Haria rā te aroha i ahau
Aue! me tangi noa
Ahau ki muri nei
Te iwi e
He ngākau tangi noa.
