Tarakihi lyrics

E, pakia kia rite

E, ko te rite kia rite

E, takahia kia ngawari

E, torona kei waho

Hoki mai

E whakarongo ai au

Ki te tangi mai

A te manu nei,

A te tarakihi,

I te weheruatanga

o te po

Tara ra-ta kita kita

Tara ra-ta kita kita

Wiri o papa, towene, towene

Wiri o papa, towene, towene

Hope whai-a-ke

Turi whatia

Ei! Ei! Ha!
