Tarakihi
E, pakia kia rite
E, ko te rite kia rite
E, takahia kia ngawari
E, torona kei waho
Hoki mai
E whakarongo ai au
Ki te tangi mai
A te manu nei,
A te tarakihi,
I te weheruatanga
o te po
Tara ra-ta kita kita
Tara ra-ta kita kita
Wiri o papa,
towene, towene
Wiri o papa,
towene, towene
Hope whai-a-ke
Turi whatia
Ei! Ei! Ha!
