E koe e kite nei i aku roimata e ringi ana anō he ua tātā

Mai i aku kanohi, i te wā e kitea ana te ngoikore o taku tinana

Kaua e mīharo, ahakoa kua rite ahau ki te kōiwi rāhui

He reemi i runga i te mānia, i waenga i te rākau pān me te maunga

Kua whakaaetia te whakaheke i taku toto i ngā marama tapu

Ā, me mīharo ki taku āhuatanga, nō te mea kāore rawa ahau

I mataku i ngā uauatanga ahakoa i totoro mai ō rātou ringa ki ahau

Engari nā te aroha ahau i whakaturi, ā, he horihori aku kupu

Nā te aitū i turaki te raiona ki ngā kanohi o te kuao reemi

E te tangata o te mānia, haere mai ki te whakaora i te tangata o te ururua!

I whakaeke taku Ipiri i taku ngākau ki ngā tūpere maha o tana titiro

Ā, ka waihotia ahau e marara noa ana, kāore he arataki

I te wā i tū ai ahau, ā, nā tana tūpere i whakangoikore taku manawanui

I whakakāhore ahau i te tūnga, ā, i huna i te tūpere i roto i taku ate

Ko te tūnga i ahu mai i te mea aroha kāore he mamae ki ahau

Ina puta mai taku marama, ka ngaro te marama tonu

He roa aku pō i roto i te whakaaro me te mataara mō te aroha ki a ia

Nōna taku wairua, taku toto, taku rongo, me taku titiro

E koe e whakahe nei i ahau mō te aroha, he aitū te aroha tonu

Mehemea i pau koe i taua matenui, e kore koe e tawai, e kore hoki e whakahe
