Me kimi i te ao nei
He wahi hei rite
Ki tou kainga tupu
E matea nuitia nei.

Hei aha nga kino
Hei aha ona hē
Ka tawhai te ngakau
ko reira noho ai.

Te kainga tupu!
Te ai ona rite
E kore e rite

Ka haere ki mamao
kei wareware koe
Te wa ki nga matua
e tangi atu nei

Te wa ki te kainga
e okioki ai.
E tau ai te mauri
ko reira noho ai.

Te kainga tupu!
Te ai ona rite
E kore e rite
