HE AWA MOANA.

Kia rongo mai koe,
Hau ruhi,
Hau ruhi,
Hau ngenge,
Hau tukitukia,
Hau e pu mai na,
Ka whanatu au ka piki i a koe na,
Ka whanatu au ka raka i a koe na,
Koia na whiwhinga,
Koia na rawea,
Koia na rawenga,
Koia na purutia,
Koia na tawhia,
Koia na whakarotua,
Rotua te wai kia rotua,
Rotua te moana kia rotua,
Rotua te rawa uta,
Pikitia te moana,
Te nui tarawa tai,
Tukua atu au,
Kia rere a manu tu.
