1 Nanā, he ātaahua koe, e tōku hoa;

nanā, he ātaahua koe!

Nō ngā kūkupa ōu kanohi

i muri i tōu ārai.

Ko ōu makawe, koia anō kei te kāhui koati e takoto

haere ana i te taha o Maunga Kireara.

2 Ko ōu niho, ānō he kāhui hipi uha

kātahi tonu ka oti te kutikuti,

i haere mai i te horoi;

rite katoa rātou i te māhanga,

kāhore hoki he mea pakoro i roto i a rātou.

3 Ko ōu ngutu, ānō he aho ngangana,

āhuareka ana tōu māngai.

Rite tonu ki tētahi wāhi o te pamekaranete

ōu rahirahinga i muri i tōu ārai.

4 Rite tonu tōu kakī ki te Pourewa o Rāwiri,

he mea i hangā hei iringa mō ngā patu,

kei reira nei ngā whakangungu rākau kotahi mano e iri ana,

ko ngā whakapuru tao katoa a te hunga mārohirohi.

5 Ko ōu ū e rua rite tonu ki ngā kūao e rua,

he māhanga nā ngā anaterope,

e kai ana i waenga i ngā rengarenga.

6 I te mea kīanō i mātao noa te rā,

ā, kīanō i rere noa ngā ātārangi,

ka haere ahau ki te maunga maira,

ki te pukepuke parakihe.

7 He ātaahua katoa koe, e tōku hoa;

kāhore hoki ōu koha.

8 Tāua ka haere atu i Repanōna, e tōku hoa,

tāua atu i Repanōna.

Mātakitaki ai i te tihi o Amana,

i te tihi o Heniri rāua ko Heremona,

i te nohoanga o ngā raiona,

i ngā maunga o ngā reparo.

9 Riro pū tōku ngākau i a koe, e tōku tuahine, e tōku hoa;

riro pū tōku ngākau i tētahi o ōu kanohi,

i tētahi o ngā mekameka whakapaipai o tōu kakī.

10 Anō te ātaahua o tōu aroha, e tōku tuahine, e tōku hoa,

Anō te pai o tōu aroha, nui atu i te wāina!

Ko te kakara hoki o ōu hinu, nui atu i ngā kīnaki kakara katoa.

11 He honi kei ōu ngutu, e tōku hoa, e māturuturu ana;

he honi, he waiū kei raro i tōu arero;

ko te kakara hoki o ōu kākahu,

koia anō kei te kakara o Repanōna!

12 He kāri kua oti te tūtaki tōku tuahine, tōku hoa;

he manawa-whenua kua oti te pāpuni, he puna kua oti te hīri.

13 Ko ngā mea e wana ana i a koe he kāri pamekaranete,

he pai whakarere ngā hua;

he hena, he rākau nara,

14 he nara, he hapirone, he karamu, he hinamona,

me ngā rākau parakihe katoa;

he maira, he aroe,

me ngā mea nui katoa o ngā kīnaki kakara.

15 He puna koe nō ngā kāri, he poka wai ora,

he awa totō mai hoki nō Repanōna.

16 E ara, e te hauraro;

haere mai hoki, e te tonga!

Pupuhi mai ki tāku kāri,

kia rere ai ngā kīnaki kakara ki waho.

Tukua tāku e aroha nei kia haere mai ki tāna kāri,

ki te kai i āna hua pai.
