The deep dark night   The bright stars twinkle in the sky   For that is you the esteemed ones   That have flown afar   We should not forget   To the good father place upon us   Your gentle hands   Relieve us of this heavy burden   The deep dark night   The bright stars twinkle in the sky   For that is you the esteemed ones   That have flown afar   To the good father place upon us   Your gentle hands   Relieve us of this heavy burden   The night is gloomy   The bright stars twinkle in the sky   For that is you the loved ones that   Have flown afar   We should not forget   We should not forget

Wheuri te pō

Tirama ana ngā whetu piatata

Ko koutou tēnā ngā kāhika

Kua rere ki runga rawa 

E wareware I a tātou

E te Atua pai

Tukua mai ou ringa mākoha

Hikina te taimaha hārukiruki 

Wheuri te pō

Tirama ana ngā whetu piatata

Ko koutou tēnā ngā kāhika

Kua rere ki runga rawa 

E te Atua pai

Tukua mai ou ringa mākoha

Hikina te taimaha hārukiruki 

Pōkē te pō

Tirama ana ngā whetu piatata

Ko koutou tēnā ngā ipo

Kua rere ki runga rawa

E wareware I a tātou

E wareware I a tātou
