Aue ihu

Au, e Ihu, tirohia

Arohaina iho rā

Whakaaetia ake au

Ki Tou uma piri ai

I te wā e ake ai

Enei ngaru kino nei

I te wā e keri ai

Enei awha kaha mai

Tiakina mai ahau

I te wā e rurea nei

Aratakakina e koe

Roto te marino nui

Aua au e waiho noa

Awhitia mai rā e Koe

Hīpokina iho au

Raro i ou parirau

Rānea tonu ana mai

Tau aroha atawhai

Kaha ana mai ko Koe

Ki te muru i ngā hē

Puna o te oranga

Whakahekea tenei wai

Kia pupū i roto nei

Tae noa ki te mutunga

Amine

Arohaina

Arohaina mai

E te Kingi nui

Manaakitia rā

O tamariki e

Horahia mai rā

Te marie nui ki te

Hoko-whitu a Tū toa

Ngā mamaetanga

Me ngā pouri nui

Pēhia rawatia

Ki raro rā e.

Mē anga atu

Ka karanga ki te Matua

Aue aroha mai

Ngā hapū katoa

O Aotearoa e

Tau awhitia rā

Ko tōku rongo

Kia mau te tihe

Mauria ora

A ngā tūpuna

Hei tohu wehi e
