[Intro] Tēnā, e te rangi tawhiti Whakarongo mai ki a mātou [Verse 1] I te onepū whero ka tatari Ngā whare ririki i raro i te marama Ka mau tonu au ki tō ringa Ahakoa e wiri ana te whenua [Chorus] E tū, e tū, kaua e mataku He manawa kotahi, he ara kotahi Ka tuku atu ngā ingoa ki te pō Ka waiata tonu, ka waiata tonu [Verse 2] Kei tua o te pae ka mura te whetū Ka kōpani ngā tatau, ka tatau ngā rā E hoa, ka rangona tō reo i konei I roto i te hau, i roto i ahau [Bridge] Haumi e, hui e, tāiki e Haumi e, hui e, tāiki e Kia ū, kia ū, kia ū [Final Build - Unison Male and Female Choir] (Whispered, slow and measured) E tū… e tū… kotahi… (Gradually louder) Kia ū ki ahau, kia ū ki ahau He manawa kotahi, he ara kotahi (Bright, powerful unison) E tū! E tū! Kia ū! Ka waiata tonu! [Hard Cut to Silence]
