Haeremai e hine mā,
Me nga taonga o te wā,
He reo karanga i katoa,
Haeremai ki au.

Chorus
Hoea rā te waka nei.
Hoea, hoea ki te pae
Ma te poi e karawhiu
E rāhui i te pai.

Me pehea rā e taea ai
Te aroha pehi kino nei,
Mo te tau i pamamao
Haeremai ki au!

Koia ra e hine mā
Koha kore noa te pai.
Haere me te atawhai
Ka rahui i te pai.

Na te ngākau tangi ra
Ko te tiwaiwaka nei
Te poi ka hoea atu nei
He tohu no te pai.
