Hoki Mai Rā

Ka hanatū atu au Ki te riu tupu nui Ki taku pā kāinga nei Haramai te mauri tau Waewae ki a nuku Poho ki a rangi e Pūhia mai te reka o Tahuaroa Purea mai (e) ngā hau o Tāwhiri Aku tuakana Aku tuahine Anō te āhuareka e Hoki mai rā Te karanga a te iwi Karanga a te whenua Hoki mai rā Te karanga a te iwi Karanga a te whenua Take me back to the place Where the rivers flow And the people are free Mountains roll like the tides Sunkissed Māori smiles That's where I wanna be And it don't matter how far I may roam Cause I will always find my way back home I got my bags packed And fuel tank on E Māmā, I'll see you for tea Hoki mai rā Te karanga a te iwi Karanga a te whenua Hoki mai rā Te karanga a te iwi Karanga a te whenua Hoki mai rā Te karanga a te iwi Karanga a te whenua Hoki mai rā Te karanga a te iwi Karanga a te whenua Hoki mai rā Te karanga a te iwi Karanga a te whenua Hoki mai rā Te karanga a te iwi Karanga a te whenua
