Tīhore mai te rangi
tīhore mai
mao mao mao te ua
whiti mai te rā,
mao mao mao te ua
whiti mai te rā,
E rere te kōtare
ki runga pūwharawhara
rūrū parirau
kei mate i te ua,
rūrū parirau
kei mate i te ua.
Tīhore mai te rangi . . .
e rere e noke
mai i tō pokorua
kai kī i te wai
kai mate i te ua,
kai kī i te wai
kai mate i te ua,
Tīhore mai te rangi

mao mao mao te ua
whiti mai te rā,
mao mao mao te ua
whiti mai te rā,
