I ngā tāngata o te aroha i kī mai ki ahau:

Ki te whakamātautau a te Atua i a koe ki tēnei aroha,

Kia mōhio he teitei, he utu nui tōna tūnga;

Ahakoa ngā tohunga, ka pōkaikaha i a ia

Kāore he aroha pono mehemea kāore he Hononga,

Ā, kāore he Hononga kāore i te utu nui.

Kāore he waina engari ko te waina kua hiritia,

Ā, kāore he tūnga wairua engari ka tae ki te teitei.

I a au e takoto ana i roto i taku moe,

Ka tū ngā Tāngata o te Atua ki runga i ahau.

Ka kī mai rātou ki ahau: E ara, e te moe,

Ā, kia maumahara ki tōu Ariki Tūturu.

Ka kī mai te iwi kei te hē ahau

Engari kua whakairohia, kua mārama taku ara.

Ki te purea ahau ki tōku Ariki,

Kāore he aha ki ahau te whakatau a te tangata.

Kua pakaru te ata ki runga i taku Aroha,

Ā, tae noa ki taku kitenga i a Ia ki ōku ake whatu.

Ko koe anake taku whāinga, e tōku Atua,

Ā, kei a koe te mana nui ki ahau i a au anō.
