KARAKIA MO TE HORE, KURUPO, HE KEA RANEI.

Ka ripiripi, ka toetoe, ka haehae ko nga tino,
He tapu koe, he kea koe
Me aha ? me tao ki te umu,
Te matua, o te katitohe, he kea,
Inumia, ki te wai o koropupu,
E te manini kura, e te manini kura,—ha—i.

E te tiputipu nei, tairoria !
E te kea nei, tairoria !
Haere ki Hawaiki, tairoria !
Kia whiwhi ai koe, tairoria !
Kia mana ai koe, tairoria,—ha !

Taku kiri, ka rekareka, ha—i,
Haere, i te tai timu,
Haere, i te tai heke,
Haere, i te tai manunu, ki tawhiti,
Haere, ki tou tupuranga mai,
Haere, ki tou nohoanga mai.
