Kua takitahi ngā whetū o te kāhui o Matariki
I houa he pō au, whiti ana te rā
He rongomau, he maungārongo ki te whenua
Taku Rātā tūtahi
Taku whakatiketike
Taku whakamarumaru e [x 2]
I tautokotia te karanga o Ingarangi
Te tūwatawata mo te Iwi e
I kauparetia atu te kino
Me whakamanawa mai
Hau tonu tō rongotoa
Me whakamanawa mai
Hau tonu tō rongotoa
Hau tonu tō rongotoa [x 4]
