I Kōwhiri Au

1. I mua te hā ora, rongo au tōna aho
Ao ake, kia mokoā te hono
Kia tono ki a Ia, ka rongo te aroha
Mahara te kupu whakaari
Kei tōku taha, ahakoa te aha, e tīpako ana i ahau

[Chorus]
He manawa tītī Tōna, he toka tū moana
Tō tātou Kaihanga e, kite tōku pitomata
E pōhēhē ana ahau, he koretake tēnei
Ahakoa ngā rīwha me ngā tōrōkiri
I kōwhiri au

2. Ka rongo Tōna mārie, i tōku whakapono
Āwhina i a au kia whai take
Whakaora i au anō, te aroha pērā i a Ia
Whai ai i Ōna tapuwae
Kei tōku taha, ahakoa te aha, e tīpako ana i ahau

[Chorus]
He manawa tītī Tōna, he toka tū moana
Tō tātou Kaihanga e, kite tōku pitomata
E pōhēhē ana ahau, he koretake tēnei
Ahakoa ngā rīwha me ngā tōrōkiri
I kōwhiri au
