Ko Rangitane e

 Ko Rangitane e

E tu to waka, nou ra, Whatonga,

ki runga i Te Mahia e.

Tau ra ki Heretaunga, ka moe i a Reretua

ka puta (ko) Tuatoki e

Ko Rangitane e

Tautoki-Ihunui-o-Whatonga

ka piri i a Waipuna e

ko te uri no nga tini whetu i te rangi

e tiaho ana e

Ko Rangitane e

Ka haere i te ara ko te tini mano e

ka haere i te riri, ko te mano ki te ara haere ai

Ko Rangitane e

Tahanga atu ra i nga haramaitanga

o runga o Manawatu e

Te Taperenui a Whatonga,

ko te pataka kai o te iwi e

Ko Rangitane e

Ka rarapa nga kanohi, e ko Wairarapa,

te karawhititanga e

Ko te kotahitanga,

te rangatiratanga o te iwi Maori e

Ko Rangitane e

Tukua Te Whakanan, tukua o whenua,

tukua ki a Kahungunu e

Tetere atu ra, whakangarutia ana

a Raukawakawa e

Ko Rangitane e

Kei puta te Waira, tu mai te Wairau

i te tihi o Tama e,

ko nga uri o nga tini whetu i te rangi

ki te whenua e

Ko Rangitane e

Ko Rangitane e

Ana, ana, hi!

Memories

 Here's to the ones that we got

Cheers to the wish you were here, but you're not
'Cause the dreams bring back all the memories
Of everything we've been through
Close to the ones here today
Close to the ones that we lost on the way
'Cause the dreams bring back all the memories
And the memories bring back, memories bring back you

There's a time that I remember, when I did not know no pain
When I believed in forever, and everything would stay the same
Now my heart feel like December when somebody say your name
'Cause I can't reach out to call you, but I know I will one day, yeah

Everybody hurts sometimes
Everybody hurts someday, ayy ayy
But everything gon' be alright
Go and raise a glass and say, ayy

Here's to the ones that we got
Cheers to the wish you were here, but you're not
'Cause the dreams bring back all the memories
Of everything we've been through
Close to the ones here today
Close to the ones that we lost on the way
'Cause the dreams bring back all the memories
And the memories bring back, memories bring back you

Doo doo, doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo
Memories bring back, memories bring back you

There's a time that I remember when I never felt so lost
When I felt all of the hatred was too powerful to stop (ooh, yeah)
Now my heart feel like an ember and it's lighting up the dark
I'll carry these torches for ya that you know I'll never drop, yeah

Everybody hurts sometimes
Everybody hurts someday, ayy ayy
But everything gon' be alright
Go and raise a glass and say, ayy

Here's to the ones that we got (oh)
Cheers to the wish you were here, but you're not
'Cause the dreams bring back all the memories
Of everything we've been through (no, no)
Close to the ones here today (ayy)
Close to the ones that we lost on the way
'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories (ayy)
And the memories bring back, memories bring back you

Doo doo, doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo
Memories bring back, memories bring back you
Doo doo, doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo (ooh, yeah)
Memories bring back, memories bring back you

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, doh, doh
Memories bring back, memories bring back you

Tu mai rā koe hei tohu i ahau,
Tu mai rā koe hei tohu i ahau.

Shining over there
Is the morning star
Venus in the dawn,
Saturn in the night.
The world of light rises
Above a world left behind.
You rise up there as a sign to me 
You rise up there as a sign to me... 

...that love does not
Randomly turn away.
Come back to me my darling
Come back to me my darling

Shining over there
Is the morning star
Venus in the dawn,
Saturn in the night.
The world of light rises
Above a world left behind
You rise up there as a sign to me 
You rise up there as a sign to me.
