1 Kia mahara rā ki tōu Kaihanga

i ngā rā o tōu tamarikitanga,

i te mea kāhore anō kia tae noa mai ngā rā o te kino,

ā, kāhore anō kia tata mai ngā tau e kī ai koe,

"Kāhore ōku āhuareka ki ēnei tau";

2 i te mea kāhore anō kia pōuri noa te rā, te mārama,

te marama, me ngā whetū,

ā, kāhore anō kia hoki mai ngā kapua i muri i te ua;

3 i te rā e wiri ai ngā kaitiaki o te whare,

ā, ka piko iho ngā tāngata mārohirohi,

ka mutu anō hoki tā ngā kaihuri, nō te mea he torutoru rātou,

ka pōuri anō hoki ngā mea e titiro mai nei i ngā matapihi.
