I ora ki te Takutai o te Raki
I hika i te Tara o te Marama
Waiho rātou hai pōri
Heke iho a Tukiauau
Ka tū a Whakaraupuka
Tērā a Tūwiriroa ki Motupara
Arā te taumata o Hā-ki-te-kura
Mahue mai a Korokiwhiti
E kā kuru tokarerewa
Hapetuakiwhiti
Tūokioki
Mau atu ki Maru kaitātea
Tarere ki whenua uta
Tau ana e!
