He oha nā Hiwa ka takoto i te mataaho
Mō te tūpono i hē te ara i whāia
E arohaina ana te ao e noho nei au
Te kurī taringa pīkari
Kei te rapu tonu i te mea ngaro
Kua roa e takahia ana tēnei huarahi
Atu i konei, ki hea atu rā?
Ko ngā hine rerehua ka rerehu noa atu
Ko te ao hurihuri tēnei e huri ana
E aua
Kohore ana pea aku mata
Kohore ana pea aku mata, mata
Takoto kau i tō moenga he whakakai i te taringa
Puta ana i te pō kanikani tahi ai
Ka mahuta te rā, kua tata mai te ahungarua
Ko koe tonu tērā taku whakawairangi
Kua roa e takahia ana tēnei huarahi
Atu i konei, ki hea atu rā?
He wā tōna ka rata koe ki puoro kē atu
Ko te ao hurihuri tēnei e huri ana
E aua
Kohore
Kohore ana pea aku mata, mata
Kia pai mai rā
Kia pai mai rā
Taiāwhio ana i te ao hurihuri mō āke tonu e
Atu i konei, he aha te aha
Noho atu ki te hunga nā rātou koe i poipoi
Ko te ao hurihuri tēnei e huri ana
E aua
Kohore ana pea aku mata
Kohore ana pea aku mata, mata
