Ara tihei mauriora e (Tuhetia)
E noho (Tuhetia) te hiri o Waikato
E huri to kanohi ki te hauauru
Nga tai e ngunguru i waho o Te Akau
aue, he aue! Hi aue! aue, he aue!
To pikitanga ko te au o te rangi
Ti heketanga ko karioi maunga
To hoe nga waka ko Whaingaroa
aue, he aue! Hi aue! aue, he aue!
Takahia atu ra te moana i Aotea
Kia whatiwhati koe i te hua o te miro
Te tihi o Morangi te puke okiokinga
aue, he aue! Hi aue! aue, he aue!
Piua o mata ki Kawhia moana
Ki Kawhia kai ki Kawhia tangata
Ko te kupu tena a o tupuna
aue, he aue! Hi aue! aue, he aue!
E hoe to waka ki Ngaruawahia
Turangawaewae mo te Kingitanga
Ko te tongi whakamutunga a Matutaera
aue, he aue! Hi aue! aue, he aue!
Tairi te aroha i a ha! ha!
Toro mai o ringa me aroha taua
Aue! Hikitia Aue Hapainga
aue, he aue! aue, he aue!
Tihei Maori Ora Hi!
