Kia mahea ngaa ara ki te oranga
Kia whakina ngaa hua o te tika, o te pono, te pono.
Me te tumanako ki te atua, te aroha.
E Ihu maaturu mai ana
Kia tapuu too ingoa
Tukua mai raa he maaramatanga e
Kia Whakamoemiti ki a koe!
Kia mahea ngaa ara ki te oranga
Kia whakina ngaa hua o te tika, o te pono, te pono.
Me te tumanako ki te atua, te aroha.

Hauāwhiowhio,
Tāniwhaniwha te moana.
Tohua a mai rā, i te parekura.
Pupū ake ana, te wairua matapoporehia.
Te tangi a Papa te haumatakataka.
Hūkerikeri ana, kawea mai te ua marangai.
Te tangi a Rangi, ki tōna ūkaipo.
Ka whakairohia i ngā arahou,
Ki runga ki te whenua.
Te tangi a Papa te haumatakataka.
E kore e hē ana,
taku manawa te aroha
ngā tau taunga, kua ngāro atu
Ka whakairohia i ngā arahou,
Ki runga ki te whenua.
Te tangi a Papa te haumatakataka.
D-A-Bm-G
Kua horo te papa tūnohopu
Kua horo te whakatōhea
Kua horo te whatumanawa
Kua horo auē
He aha i pēra ai [auē taukuri]
He aha i pēra ai [patuki tahi te manawa ora]
Te wehi o te whenua
Te apū o te moana
He whenua taurikura
He hihiri wairua
Patuki tahi nei te manawa o te Atua
ō tāngata ora manawa ora
Tō reo te ata e pai nei
Tō reo te tai e timu nei a
Te mōkoarea
Koutou e hau kura nei ki te ngia
o te Ika roa [whetūki]
Ki te uma o Ranginui
Patuki tahi nei te manawa o te Atua
ō tāngata ora manawa ora
ō tāngata ora manawa ora
Patuki tahi ngā manawa
Manawa ora e
Manawa ora e
Enua Manea
Te vai nei, Ka vai ra
Manakonako anga ia naku i te ao e
Te iriri o te po, maiata e tu mai nei
Mei te moemoea, te ara ua nei
Marau rupe te tiare tanumia i te pae kainga, Rarotonga e!
Taku i akaruke mai te aro'a e te tangi
I roto i te au o, tuaivi, te au maunga, Rarotonga e
Toku roimata e ta'e nei
To taua ngutuare enua
Aue Rarotonga
Translation
Beautiful island
It is still here and will always be here
Im always thinking and yearning of you wherever I am in the world
The beauty of the night, I am awake yet I am dreaming
Beautiful and lush flowers planted near my home - that's you Rarotonga
I left you with sadness and tears in my heart
Oh my Rarotonga

(Karanga)
Kāore te aroha ki te kororia tapu
E waewae ake ana i te ara kūiti
Nau mai e tama ka haere tāua
Ki a Ihaia kia monitatia
Kia huihui tātau he kōrero hanga nui
(Waiata)
E kore rātau e koeketia
Pēnei i a tātau kua mahue
E kore hoki rātau e ngoikore
Ahakoa i ngā ahuatanga (o te wā) x2
I te tōrengitanga (o te rā) x2
Tae noa ki te aranga mai o te ata
Ka maumahara tonu tātau ki a rātau
Ka maumahara tonu tātau ki a rātau
Nō te tai Hauauru (7) E kore rātau e wareware i a ahau
Nō te tai Rāwhiti Ka maumahara tonu tātau ki a rātau
Nō te tai Tonga
Nō te tai Runga
E kore hoki rātau e ngoikore
Ahakoa i ngā ahuatanga o te wā Ahakoa i ngā ahuatanga o te wā
I te tōrengitanga o te rā I te tōrengitanga o te rā
Ka maumahara tonu tātau ki a rātau
Ka maumahara tonu tātau ki a rātau
Ka maumahara tonu tātau ki a rātau
Ka maumahara tonu tātau ki a rātau
