Ka poipoia

Ka poipoia ahau             Let me be nurtured

E te po marino e             By the calm evening
He korowai o te Atua        The cloak of the Creator
Taku whare okioki             To my place of rest

Tera nga whetu korikoriko        The twinkling stars

Te marama taiahoaho          The shimmering moon
Hei hoa moku i te poho         That accompanies me
Taku whare okioki             To my place of rest
He kapua i te Ikaroa          A cloud in the Milky Way
Moku mo aku takahanga         For my despair
Hei hoa moku i te poho           That accompanies me
Taku whare okioki               To my place of rest
He kapua i te Ikaroa           A cloud in the Milky Way
Moku mo aku takahanga         For my despair
Hei hoa moku i te poho          That accompanies me 
Taku whare okioki              To my place of rest
Hei hoa moku i te poho         That accompanies me 
Taku whare okioki             To my place of rest
