Ee...Ko Apirana Ngata ra te tangata
Takarure mai ra i nga ture
i roto o Poneke!

Horohia mai ō ture ki ahau
Horohia mai ō ture ki ahau

Tu ana te Minita ki waenganui!
Tu ana te Minita ki waenganui!

Ō ture patua ki runga
ki te tekoteko
o te Whare e tu mai na

Mahi hamupaka koia raka!
Ture kaunihera koia raka!
Poropeihana koia raka!

Ka minamina au ki te waipiro
ka hokona i te pō!
Purari paka!
Kaura mokai e!

Homai o ture kia wetewete!
Kia wetewete!
