KUPU
E te purapura tūāwhiti
I ruia koe i Rangiātea
E kore e heke, e kore e heke
Tupu te toi, ora te toi
Whanake te toi
He toi tangata auē
Mauri kawariki
Māna koe e whakapakari
Auē
Te kura nā Taininihi
Te kura nā Māhina
Me he paekura ka taka i ahau
Kia kotia te taitapu ki Hawaiki
Te hekenga o Maruiwi ki Te Reinga
Me he tira apārangi i te au huri waka
Auē
Kei akeake te huamata
I nui o rangi akaaka
Tēnei ka tauwehe
Ka raungaiti au
Auē taukuri e
Ka raungaiti au e
Tupu te toi
Ora te toi
Whanake te toi
Te toi tangata auē
Mauri rengarenga
Māna koe e whakatupu e
Auē
