Waiata – Tai Aroha

Ko te aroha anō he wai
E pupū ake ana
He awa e māpuna mai ana
I roto i te whatu-manawa
I roto i te whatu-manawa

Ko tōna mātāpuna he hōhonu
Ā inā ia ka rere anō
Ā inā ia ka rere anō

He tai timu
He tai pari
He tai ope
He tai roa
He tai nui

Waiata - Purea Nei

Purea nei e te hau
Horoia e te ua
Whitiwhitia e te ra
Mahea ake nga poraruraru
Makere ana nga here.

E rere wairua, e rere
Ki nga ao o te rangi
Whitiwhitia e te ra
Mahea ake nga poraruraru
Makere ana nga here,
Makere ana nga here.
