Lyrics -

Te wai nō rua whetū
Nō mua noa atu
He whakairo kua muhu
Whakaterea ngā ngaru

He akunga houhare ahau
I titiro atu
Ki te ahurei, ki te tumu whakarae
Arā ko koe
(Ko koe)
Kei ao kē koe
Nei au he kuku mokemoke
Hāhā te whenua, hāhā ahau e

Ū, auē

Te kou o Rehua
Tua atu i te tohu
Ka hui ki te ariki
Mō te atarau

Nō rātou te wawata
Ko taku toa he toa nō nehe
Te kauae runga, te kai mārō a rātou mā
Tāmarutia te maunga
E te tūātea orotā
I whai oranga mā runga i te tohorā

He tama whakamautai
Ko Hina kei tōna marae
He waka ka ū ki uta
He karere motuhake, he kura huna
