Kua hia tau
I wehe, wehe, koe i au
Wairua mātātoa
Whenua taurikura
Tōku ahurutanga
Hoki mai ki ahau
Tēnei mea te pūtea
He aha ka pahawa?
He whare karetao
He moni ka hao
He whare whakaruruhau
He whare e tū tangata ahau
Hoki mai rā
E te tau
Mokemoke
Nei ahau
Hoki mai rā
E te tau
He wahine e
Kua hia ngā tau
Ka huri ka huri ka huri
Ka taka te kapa
He nui ngā kōrero
E pēhea e tautoko
Me hoki mai koe
E tika ai ngā hē
Hoki mai rā koe
Tēnei mea te pūtea
He aha ka pahawa?
He whare karetao
He moni ka hao
He whare whakaruruhau
He whare e tū tangata ahau
Hoki mai rā
E te tau
Mokemoke
Nei ahau
Hoki mai rā
E te tau
He wahine e
Kua hia ngā tau
(Cello Solo)
Te reo karanga
Tioriori ana
Kua tae mai nei
Ki aku taringa
Tēnei mea te pūtea
He aha ka pahawa?
He whare karetao
He moni ka hao
He whare whakaruruhau
He whare e tū tangata ahau
Hoki mai rā
E te tau
Mokemoke
Nei ahau
Hoki mai rā
E te tau
He wahine e
Kua hia ngā tau
Uu uu
Hoki mai ki ahau
