1 I te putanga mai o Īharaira i Īhipa,

o te whare o Hākopa i te iwi reo kē,

2 ko Hūrā tōna wāhi tapu,

ko Īharaira tōna rangatiratanga.

3 I kite te moana, ā, whati ana;

i whakahokia ki muri a Horano.

4 Pekepeke ana ngā maunga ānō he hipi toa,

ngā pukepuke ānō he reme.

5 I ahatia koe, e te moana, i whati ai koe e Horano,

i whakahokia ai koe ki muri?

6 E ngā maunga, i pekepeke ai koutou ānō he hipi toa,

e ngā pukepuke, ānō he reme?

7 E wiri, e te whenua, i te aroaro o te Ariki,

i te aroaro o te Atua o Hākopa,

8 i meinga ai te toka, hei hōpua wai,

te kiripaka hei puna wai.
