karanga ake au
kia tū tahi tonu
tangi ana atu rā
ki te whare teina
mihimihi atu ana e
ki te whare kaitū
ki te whare kaitā
ki te whare kairangi ē
pōmārie pō aroha
kei te moe ngā tāngata
e titiro atu ana a maria me hōhepa
ki te kaiwhakaora
ki a hehu aroha
pōmārie pō aroha
whakātu mai ngā āhere
kia hari te ao nei
kua whānau a hehu
te kaiwhakaora
ki peterehema
kapokapo iho mai ngā whetū
harirū korōria
kua whānau mai te ariki
hāngū, hāngū te pō nei
tapu, tapu te pō nei
kua tūtuki
he kaiwhakaora
ko hehu
