1. Na ro-to i ta-au Tu-a-tu-a,

ki-te ma-touʼi to-ou

pa-ka-ri e te ma-na ma-a-ta

e to ta-ki-nga mei-ta-ki.

2. Te a-ka-ma-rū nei to Tama-i-ti

i tei ro-i-ro-i.

Ma-rū e te mā-mā tana apa-i-nga,

mea ma-re-ka roa kia ā-mo.

3. Me ta-ki-nga mei-ta-ki rai ta-tou

mei ia Ie-su te tu;

ka a-ka-tu-puʼi te a-roa u-a

i ro-to i e-ta-i ke.
