RAPUHIA KOTE MATAURANGA

Rapuhia kote matauranga

Tēnei mātou, e roopu rangatahi

Nō runga o Ruapehu, e mihi nei (e ngā iwi)

E whai nei te ara, o te matauranga

Hei maunga ringa, ki te ao e huri nei (hi ha)

Chorus

Rapuhia kote matauranga

(kia kaha, e tama e) (hi)

Rapuhia kote matauranga

(kia kaha, e hine e) (hi)

E mahinga ka nui, hei mou e hoa ma

Hāpainga, hikitia ko te matauranga

Whakarongo ake au ki te tangi a te manu

i runga rangi ee

Nāna i kii mai, purutia to mana,

to mana wairua

kei riro i te ao, he taonga ki te ao ee)

Aue hi! Aue ha!

Aue kia kaha rā.

Chorus: Rapuhia.......................
