E hoki ana aku mahara

 

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.
