(Chorus)
Kia mau ki tō ūkaipō Kia mau hoki ki tō whānau Kia mau ki tō ūkaipō I tangata ai koe I hari mai i a koe Kia mau ki tō ūkaipō Kia mau hoki ki tō whānau Kia mau ki tō ūkaipō
Pōhēhē ana a Hēni I te huarahi tika ia Mahue ngā hoa, haere atu ana Tē huri mai anō Ngaro ana i a ia te mana Kimi tikanga hou, he ao horihori Tāweko ana te taura tangata Motu ana te taura karawa, ā…

Kia mau ki tō ūkaipō Kia mau hoki ki tō whānau Kia mau ki tō ūkaipō I tangata ai koe I hari mai i a koe Kia mau ki tō ūkaipō Kia mau hoki ki tō whānau Kia mau ki tō ūkaipō

Ka mate, ka mate ....
