Karanga, rangatahi, whakarongo, whakarongo
Ko nga tamatoa matou, ka tahu te ahi
Kaua e nukurautia, kia mau ki to Maori
Te meho o te mana i te tokomaha
Kei Te Rauparaha te toa me te kaha, Ana!
Hone Heke, topea te pou haki
Na te whakapairua o te mahi Ingarihi
He mea kohuru i te tauiwi.
Ka whakahoki-patu mai i Te Kooti.
Te Hokowhitu-Maori i nga pakanga nui
Pumau te whawhai kotahi
Moana Ngarimu [[|1]], rua-kore-iwa
Au maro, te nguha, te ngana
Horetiti! horetata! Ka mau te wehi, he rangatira!
Ko Papurona, tere omanga
Rangatu tupuna, mauriora
E Tu
Maranga
Kia Kaha
Rangatira
I haere kimi-mate a Von Tempsky
Koia te he koia te ngohi
Ko Titokowaru [[|2]] he toa nunui
Te whawhai mohio o te Maori Hi!
Ka whakaeke hoia ki te pa
Whakaaro nei ratou, te toa
Ko te whakaeke ratou ka mate ka hinga
Ko Kawiti tatai tikanga
Ko Te Rangihaeata mau te whenua
Te atetenga ki te hoia
Ko te whenua, he pu, te rangatira
I Awakairangi i tahaetia he taonga
I te tau tahi-waru-wha-ono
He pakanga na tenei mahi kino
I hinga Maori i hinga Pakeha
Ko ta tauiwi homanga, ne
Te ture Pakeha e mahi i te he
Ko matou e patu nei te koretake
Kaua e wareware ou tupuna [[|3]]
Te nonoke e haere tonu ake na Ae!
He mea i karanga, he tino take
Ka whawhai tonu matou, ake! ake! ake!
E pumahara nei taku kupu
Kare kau te moni te kaupapa
Kare taku korero he pakiwaha
Ka kii te pono ana te tikanga
Ko Papurona me tana homanga te he
Nga kaitorangapu he mate
Kua tango o tatou whenua, e haere tonu
Ko te korero nei ka paku
Me mohio te hitori kia matau ai to tu
Akohia! waiho te makuware
Kia manawanui ki te nonoke nei
Kia kaha kia mau ki to Maori
Kaua e tuku te whawhai nei.
Ko nga tamatoa matou, ka tahu te ahi
Kaua e nukurautia, kia mau ki to Maori
Te meho o te mana i te tokomaha
Kei Te Rauparaha te toa me te kaha, Ana!
