E rere ra, te pīpīwharauroa
He tohu whakaharikoa i te iwi
Hei whakanui, i te atua rongo
Raua ko Papatūānuku e takoto
Uenuku tā whana mai i te rangi uenuku
Tīhore mai te rangi i te po i te ata
E tau ana a rangi raua ko
Papatūānuku
E rere ra, te pīpīwharauroa
He tohu whakaharikoa i te iwi
Hei whakanui, i te atua rongo
Raua ko Papatūānuku e takoto
Nga tamariki, e tākaro ana, tai noa ki te māpouriki a rangi
Tamanui te ra, e whiti mai ana, nau te oranga mō tatau te iwi
Ngā atua karanga, te iwi e mihi nei
(Karanga te po, karanga te ao, tihei mauri ora)
Papatūānuku
E rere ra, te pīpīwharauroa
He tohu whakaharikoa i te iwi
Hei whakanui, i te atua rongo
Raua ko Papatūānuku e takoto
Raua ko Papatūānuku e takoto
E rere ra
