"E noho ana ano, maua ko aku mahara
E tatari ana au i te whetu o te rangi
E hoa ma
E waka koikoia mai nei
Koia ano ka hopu kia ki
Roto ki te Rua-rou-raka
Mau tonu mai te kiri ngutu
Ko te hei tara nou i te ra
Hei oi mai ma tenei na
Hei whakakoraparapa i te kanohi
Uea e te whakama i au aue
E waiho ra te kawau e ia hau
Horu ai kia whaka tanukutia i te korokoro
Kia ea
Ake ana ko te pari poroporo
I tau konihi kia whakaaea
Kia titiro iho ki te pito
Kia motu rere te kaokao
Rokorei ra e whakaturei kura e
Ki te whatu o te weruweru
Tonu turuki"
