Purotu māo´hi e
Motu atea ua tapirihia ae ‘oe
Ua tifai atu i to te ao nei
‘Ori here te taipe o te ‘ai’a

Ua tifai atu i to te ao nei
‘Ori here te taipe
‘Ori here te taipe o te ‘ai’a

Maru Ara, o to´u teie i´oa
‘Aito maru no te pape atati’a
Pa´ari to’u ti’aturi i to tātou Atua
Faufa´a tumu
Tāna i vaiho mai no ‘oe

Ia hura noa te hura
Ia heiva noa te heiva, te heiva
Ia ora te Heiva
