Aue te Aroha

Aue te aroha i ahau, aue
Aue e te iwi e.
E te iwi Māori1 puritia kia mau,
Utaina ki runga i te waka o te ora2
Ka hoe ai ki te tauranga3.

Ko te kupu a te Kaiwhakaora,
A Hehu tino aroha
Wetewetekia atu ngā ururua4 
E te hunga e mamae ana
Ka aru mai ai i ahau.

E te iwi whakarongo ake ra,
Ki te reo e karanga mai nei
Whaia kia mau te kotahitanga5
He mea paihere na te rangimarie6
Kia mau ai te Rongopai.
