Pōkākā ana te moana
Āritarita ana te Tai o Poutini
Haruru i te pō
Haruru i te ao
He paiao kaniawhea i te rangi
Ka heke ko Roimata
Ka pukea ko te whenua
Tau ana te pūweru tauā
Ki runga i tō rahi
Ka auē, ka auē
Kāore ia nei he tohu o te mate
Mōhou e te toki
Mōhou e te pā whakawairua
I manaaki mai te whakaeke
I waha mai mō mātou
Ka kino tō pounamu
He kino pounamu onamata
Waiho atu nei te tewe muri nei
Ki te whare o Tūhuru e tū ake nei
Hai tūkeka, hai uhunga mōhou
Hanatu rā ki a rātou
Ki te kāinga wairua i te rangi
Auē te mamae e
E pōua, e oki e. [Read more…]
