Fa'aro'o mai na teie himene
Fa'aro'o mai na homa e
Teie himene 'umere e
No te fa'ateniteni ia 'Oro e
Te himene a te mau tupuna
Te mara'e o Taputapuatea e

Hawaiki nui, te Aotearoa
Te pito 'o te henua Rapa nui e
Hawaiki nui, te Aotearoa
Te pito 'o Rapa nui e

A ha ha ha ha ha ha
Manava te mau ho'a e
E he he he he he he
Iaora tatou e

Ua toriri te 'ua mai te ra'i
E ua taha te mahana
Ua toriri te 'ua mai te ra'i
E ua taha te mahana
Fano atu te moana uri e
Tere ma'imi te ora

Hawaiki nui, te Aotearoa
Te pito 'o te henua Rapa nui e
Hawaiki nui, te Aotearoa
Te pito 'o Rapa Nui e

Kaoho mai ki Rapa nui

Kapiri mai ki tangi tangi
Kia matua e
Hotu te matua te ariki nui
Kapiri mai ki tangi tangi
Kia matua e
Hotu Matua, Hotu Matua
Hotu Matua te ariki nui
Hotu Matua te ariki nui

A ha ha ha ha ha ha
Manava te mau ho'a e
E he he he he he he
Iaora tatou e

Hotu Matua te ariki
Te ariki no Rapa Nui
Hotu Matua te ariki nui
O runga i te one Anakena e

Hawaiki nui, te Aotearoa
Te pito 'o te henua Rapa nui e
Hawaiki nui, te Aotearoa
Te pito 'o te henua Rapa nui e
Hawaiki nui, te Aotearoa
Te pito 'o Rapa nui e

E Hotu Matua e te ariki nui e
Kapiri mai ki tangi tangi
Kia matua e
E na e e tangi nei
E na e e tangi tangi nei ...
