Maringi noa ngā roimata
Kahu ai te pōuri
Pokepokea mai te māramatanga
O ngā whetū
Wai ka ripo, wai ka huri te rau aruhe
Aue, pupū – hihī
Mirimiri te rau aruhe
tanuku i ngā waipuke
Wai aroha rere tōtika
Rere tika ki te moana
Waiho ngā pikotanga
Kia aio te rere, te rere
Kaua e papaki kino e wai
I ngā pari e tāwharau nei
Te aruhe taku rau taonga
Wai-aroha, wai-marino
Hikina te pō
Haruru te ao, haruru te wai
I nga kōawa o aku mahara
Pōraruraru noa
Wai ka ripo, wai ka huri te rau aruhe
Aue, pupū – hihī
Mirimiri te rau aruhe
tanuku i ngā waipuke
Wai aroha rere tōtika
Rere tika ki te moana
Waiho ngā pikotanga
Kia aio te rere, te rere
Kaua e papaki kino e wai
I ngā pari e tāwharau nei
Te aruhe taku rau taonga
Wai-aroha, wai-marino
Taupatupatu, pōteretere te rau aruhe
Kati te kō e wai
I te rau e whana nei e koe
Wai aroha rere tōtika
Rere tika ki te moana
Waiho ngā pikotanga
Kia aio te rere, te rere
te rere
Kaua e papaki kino e wai
I ngā pari e tāwharau nei
Te aruhe taku rau taonga
Wai-aroha, wai-marino
kua riro aroha
wai marino
rere totika
wamarino
kua riro aroha
waimarino
