Te Tūmanako

1Nāu te ara o te rā i muri i te pō

Te wai koiora e, ahi whitawhita

Auraki au ki uta, i ngā au o te moana

Tuhitia ngā ātārangi, kua hau tāhengihengi

Ka pāpaku te mātai, kia aro i ngā ngaru

Whakapakaritia au kia anga whakamua e

Ko koe te tū, tūmanako

Whakaora au, whakaora au

Te aho i te pōuriuri

Arahina au ki te ūkaipō, tūmanko

2Paopao te whaititiri, tārū kahika koe

Horoia te raru ka ora au anō

Ka whai au i a koe mō ake tonu atu e, whakamanahia

Ko koe te tū, tūmanako

Whakaora au, whakaora au

Te aho i te pōuriuri

Arahina au ki te ūkaipō, tūmanko

3Ki te rangirua te tūmanako

Ko koe tōku pou tuarā kia haere tonu rā

Ka hikina au ka ora anō

Nāu te take e ora ana ahau

Ko koe te tū, tūmanako

Whakaora au, whakaora au

Te aho i te pōuriuri

Arahina au ki te ūkaipō, tūmanko
