E noho Ngā Wai Hono

Ara Tīhei mauri ora, E noho Ngā Wai Hono

E noho Ngā wai hono, te hiri o Waikato

E huri too kanohi ki te hauāuru

Ngā tai e ngunguru I waho o Te Akau

Auē hei auē!

Tō pikitanga ko te ao o te rangi
Tō heketanga ko Karioi maunga
Tō hoenga waka ko Whaingāroa
Auē hei auē!

Takahia atu rā te moana i Aotea
Kia whatiwhati koe i te hua o te miro
Te tihi o Moerangi te puke okiokinga
Auē hei auē! 

E puia ki Kāwhia Moana
Ki Kāwhia tai, ki Kāwhia tangata
Ko te kupu tēnā a ō tūpuna
Auē hei auē!

E huri tō kanohi ki Pirongia maunga

Ki te rohe pootae ki Arekahanara

Ko te haona kaha o te Rungarunga rawa

Auē, hei auē!

 

Paakia oo ringa ki te Kauhanganui,

Te Paki o Matariki, ngaa whakaoati

Ko Kemureti raa toona oko horoi,

Auē, hei auē!

 

E tū tō wae ki te kei o Tainui

Tēnei too hoe, ko te Tekau-maa-rua

Ngā tai e marino I waho o Kārewa

Auē, hei auē!

E hoe tō waka ki Ngāruawāhia
Tūrangawaewae mō te Kingitanga
(Ko) te tongi whakamutunga a Matutāera
Auē hei auē! 

Tāiri te aroha ia, hā hā!
Toro mai ō ringa me aroha tāua
Auē Hikitia! Auē Hāpainga!
Auē hei auē!

Ara tīhei mauri ora Hi!

 

Ko te wharariki

 Ko te wharariki, ko te wharariki

Tukua mai ki a piri

Tukua mai ki a tata

Tukua mai ki a Kauwhata e tu nei.

He aha raa? He aha raa?

He mahi mo runga i te marae e tau nei?

E ko te tui, e ko te tui.

E ko te hono ki te kotahitanga,

Ki te Kuini maori e tu nei.

E tu nei i runga i te Mana Maori Motuhake e tu nei

Whiti, whiti, whiti, ki te tika,

Whiti ki te ora. Whiti ki te rangimarie,

Titia iho, au, au, aue haa - hi

Kauwhata, kia rite!

- Toia mai te waka

Ko whea tō maunga

Ko Ruahine te maunga

Ko Oroua te awa

Ko Tainui te waka

Ki uta hi!!

E wareware I a tātou

E te Atua pai

Tukua mai ou ringa mākoha

Hikina te taimaha hārukiruki

Tukua mai ou ringa mākoha

Hikina te taimaha hārukiruki

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

E te Hokowhitu a Tu kia kaha ra

 

E te Hokowhitu a Tu kia kaha ra  Kati ra te hingahinga ki raro ra Ma nga whakaaro kei runga rawa Hei arahi ki te ara E tika ai Whirinaki, whirinaki tatou katoa Kia kotahi ra Nga marae e tu noa nei Nga maunga e tu noa nei Aue ra e tama ma Te mamae te pouri nui E patu nei i ahau ina

Oh brave band of Tu be strong Do not let yourselves be struck down Let your thoughts be always heavenwards To guide you along the path That is the proper one Depend, depend each upon the other and Lonely stands our marae Lonely stands our mountains Ah! To you our sons The pain and the deep sadness Beating within me so
