E HURI E TE TAU
E huri e te tau
Ki Wairewa
Ki ahau
E tatari nei
Ka noho tahi tāua e
Auē te aroha i te kākau
E kore rawa te aroha e
E maroke i te rā.
E huri e te tau
Ki Wairewa
Ki ahau
E tatari nei
Ka taratara te kihikihi
Āpurua au e te wera
Ko tō ātaahua e hahana e
Me Tamanui te rā.
E huri e te tau
Ki Wairewa
Ki ahau
E tatari nei.
I Kāhuru Kai Paeka
Ka rere a Hao i te awa
Pērā hoki te aroha
Kāore kau he mutuka
E huri e te tau
Ki Wairewa
Ki ahau
E tatari nei.
Ka makariri anu mātao
Me piripiri tāua e
Mā taku ahi whitawhita
Ka wera tō tinana
Ka noho tāua
Auē te aroha
E kore e ārikarika
Ka maiea, maiea
E huri e te tau
Ki Wairewa
Ki ahau
E tatari nei.
I te Kana ka pihipihi
Kā tipu hōu ki te whenua
E kiia ai ko tō tāua iwi/rahi
He tino nui rawa
E huri e te tau
Ki Wairewa
Ki ahau
E tatari nei.
Ka noho tahi tāua e
Auē te aroha i te kākau
E kore rawa te aroha e
E maroke i te rā
E huri e te tau, hi auē hi
