Korero Māori

[Intro/Whakaupoko]

Hope, ki raro

Hope, paiahahā!

[Verse/Whiti]

He maha rawa ngā whiringa hei ara māu mai ki au

He maha rawa ngā kupu whakaari ki te māhunga nōu

Hei aha ngā kīanga atamai, hei patipati mai (Ai!)

Hei aha te peruperu, pīoioi mai ē

[Chorus/Korihi]

Kōrero māori mai

Kia rere i te wai

Koia rā ko te atawhai

Kōrero māori

[Post-Chorus/Korihi Tukuna]

Hope, ki raro

Hope, paiahahā!

[Verse/Whiti]

I tipitipi haere koe, tuku ihi, tū te wehi, manahau

Ki Akaroa, ki Wairewa, ki Waihora, ki Parī kē e te tau?

Kua kite kē te mahere o te ao

Ka kite koe, tū mai rā

"I haere Māori atu, i hoki Māori mai ē"

[Chorus/Korihi]

Kōrero māori mai

Kia rere i te wai

Koia rā ko te atawhai

Kōrero māori

Kōrero māori
