E hoki ana aku
mahara ki ngā rā o mua
I noho ai te iwi
I ngā tahatika o Ōroua
E rere rā I te
nuku o te whenua
I te hōkitanga I
runga rā o Ruahine
E hoki ana aku
mahara ki ngā rā o mua
I noho ai te iwi
I ngā tahatika o Ōroua
E rere rā I te
nuku o te whenua
I tō hōkitanga I
runga rā o Ruahine
(Chorus)
Te wai kaukau o
ngā tupuna
Te wai horoi kaka
o ngā kuia
Te ara i haere ai
ngā waka o rātou mā
Te wai I kite ai
I ngā mahi a te makimaki tamariki
Ko te riripi
kōwhatu, te kauhoe, te ruruku,
Ko te korikori
ngā mahi tamariki
E rere raa i te
nuku o te whenua,
I too hokitanga,
i runga raa, o Ruahine
E tangi ana aku
mahara ki ēnei mahi o mua
Kia noho tonu ai i te iwi ki ngā tahatika o Ōroua.
