He pikinga poupou e
Ki roto o Taranaki
Ki reira au nei
Mātakitaki iho
Tukutuku roimata e (x2)
Mahia atu e te iwi e
Ngā rawe ā tauiwi
Otirā me wehe
Kei ngaro ngā tikanga
A ngā tauheke e (x2)
Nō reira e te iwi e
Kia kaha kia mau tonu
Kei riro kei ngaro
Mō ake tonu atu
Aue taukiri e (x2)
Tū mai Taranaki e
Tiketike mai rā tātou
Roto i te kawa tapu
Hapainga tō mana
Torotika ki a Rangi e (x2)
