Utaina mai ngā waka
Ngā waka o te motu
Tōia mai rā ki uta
Ki te takotoranga.

Hiki rangi, rangi e
Tēnā, tēnā rā

koutou katoa.

TRANSLATION

Put everyone aboard the canoes,
the canoes of the island.
Thrust the canoes shorewards
to the place where they will lie.
Swing your paddles down, swing them
Swing your paddles skywards, swing them
Greetings, greetings
to you all.

TRANSLATION HAKA

Man the canoes
Yes!
Seize the paddles!
Yes!

Put aboard all the tribes
of the island
onto Tamaki here.

Thrust your paddles down deep
Flip them now to the heavens
Lift them skywards
Now thrust them down deep.
A ha ha!

It is urged on by everyone
Their canoe is raised on high
Aue, aue, aue, ha!
Aue, aue, aue! Ha! Hei!
