He putiputi koe i kahotia
Hei piri ki te uma, e te tau!
He tau aroho koe, koronga roa
Koronga i ngā rā

Maku ano rā koe e atawhai
Kei kino i te ao
Kia piri tonu mai
Hei puti-puti pai
I kato-hi-a!

He aha rā e tohe tonu nei
Te aroha ki te hoki mai!
He tau i karea i roto i te pō,
Te ao, ngā rā katoa!

He pai kia pono to whakāro nui,
Kei kino i te ao!
Kia piri tonu mai,
Hei putiputi pai
I kato-hi-a!
