Hoki mai

Hoki mai e tama mā ki roto, ki roto 
I ngā ringa e tuwhera atu nei, 
(A hi! aue! aue!) 
Kei te kapakapa mai te Haki, te Haki 
Ingarangi runga Tiamana e. 

Hoki mai, hoki mai ki te wā kāinga 
Kia tutuki te tūmanako, 
Kei te kapakapa mai te Haki, te Haki 
Ingarangi runga Tiamana e. 

Pä mai tö reo aroha
Ki te pä o Hikorangi
E ngä iwi o Aotearoa
Haere mai, haere mai.

Titiro ki nga hoia kua wehi nei
Aue! te aroha me te mamae

(Women)
E nga iwi o Aotearoa...

(Men)
Tahi miti toru e
Tae te marumaru
Whare tapu teitei
Te ao korowhiti(All)
...Kia kaha! kia manawanui!

Karakia Whakamutunga

Unuhia, unuhia
Unuhia ki te uru tapu nui
Kia wātea, kia māmā, te ngākau, te tinana, te wairua i te ara takatā
Koia rā e Rongo, whakairia ake ki runga
Kia tina! TINA! Hui e! TĀIKI E!

Draw on, draw on,
Draw on the supreme sacredness
To clear, to free the heart, the body and the spirit of mankind
Rongo, suspended high above us (i.e. in ‘heaven’)
Draw together! Affirm!

Swing out rhythmically, my feelings 
lean out beside me, so deceptively. 
Swing round and down, spin towards me 
just like a fantail. 

Swing to the side: swing to and fro 
zoom down, wriggle, 
climb up above, swarm around me 
my whirling emotions, my poi, Yeah! 

Oh my feelings, draw near, 
Oh my poi, don't go astray 
Oh my affections, stick to me 
Oh my instincts, take care of me 
Oh my emotions, be entwined around me. 

Oh poi, our love... 
Oh poi ...binds. 
Poi.... my poi, yeah!
