Hiva

e hiva, e hiva e
e hiva kará rere e
ka tau taga mai te tau'a
o te to'a huri a vai

hoki e tagi no á te hunoga ki
te mata ga poki a hotu iti
e uta e ko rere tau'a
ko te pua hau hau ko rava'a ana

ragi no mai koe e haho e
ko pu'a a te pito o te maunga

Chant

chant, chant and
chant kará rere
the year comes to an end
of the warrior turning towards the water

return and cry for the child
the little hotu iti
inland and the year flies
the wind flower is blooming

you call from afar
the tip of the mountain
