KUPU
Kua noho i te tapa o te tai nei mai anō
Ki te tai nei, ngākaurua ana e
Auē, ahakoa rā te kāinga
Ka hoki au ki te moana
Ahakoa te aha
Huri kē atu, taka kē ana
Ia te ara, hoki kē rawa
Ki te tānga-o-taku-manawa rā
E hao nei e
Tiro kau atu ki Tahatū-o-te-rangi
Tukuna ahau, kia rapa ahau
I runga i te hau-kahaki ki tawhiti
Ka taea e au
Tukuna ahau, kei huri te tai, ka mau

He tau te iwi nei ki te kāinga
Koa ana taku kāinga
Ā-muri, ā-mua

Ia tangata o te kāinga
Kua whai tūranga māna
‘nā whai taku tūranga

Tai-nui
Tai-roa
Tukuna
Tai-timu
Tai-pari
Tukuna
Tai-rehu
Tai-huka
Tukuna ki te moana

Aratakina, hikitia rā
Ki te whāia pea, ka rarata
Hoi i roto nei, hia kē ana
Auē taukuri

Pīataata rawa te kārohirohi
Tukuna ahau, kia rapa ahau
Ki te tai e kārangaranga mai ki ahau e
Tukuna au ki tawhiti rā
Kia pae tata

Tiro kau atu ki Tahatū-o-te-rangi
Tukuna ahau, kia rapa ahau
I runga i te hau-kahaki ki tawhiti
Ka taea e au, tukuna au
