Whakarongo! Whakarongo! Whakarongo!
Ki te tangi a te manu e karanga nei
Tui, tùi, tuituia!
Tuia i runga, tuia i raro
Tuia i roto, tuia i waho
Tuia i te here tangata.
Ka rongo te ao, ka rongo te pō. Tuia i te kawai tangata i heke mai
I Hawaiki nui,
I Hawaiki roa,
I Hawaiki pā-mamao,
Te Hono ki Wairua.
Ki te whaiao, ki te ao-mārama.
Tēna koutou e te motu
