māturuturu ana ō roimata
ohomairangi e
ki runga i ahau
e oho ake ai
i taku moe, e moe, e moe
kore kiko
i taku moe, e moe, e moe
pēhi wairua

kia noho ake au
i tōku maunga
titiro ki raro
ki rotorua-nui-ā-kahu e

whakawhanaunga ake ai
i a tātou he rongo aroha
o te iwi, o te iwi
o te waka nei, o te waka nei
o te arawa e, o te arawa e

o te iwi, o te iwi
o te waka nei, o te waka nei
o te arawa e, o te arawa e
e ohomairangi e, e ohomairangi e
o te arawa e, o te arawa e
e ohomairangi e
