[Intro/Whakaupoko]

Mm, yeah

[Verse 1/Tahi Whiti]

I tipu mai au i te whārua e

Ahakoa te aha amu kore e

Kia whakarongo mai ki ō ui korekore ana

Ka whakaaro ake he aha te aha

E kore noa ētahi e rerekē

[Pre-Chorus/Korihi Mua]

Kia mau ki ō pae tawhiti

Ahakoa te kōkēi

He mana nui tō te āki

Hei aha te whakaaro-iti

[Chorus/Korihi]

Tiro ki tua, (Ki) tua rā e

Whakarongo ki ngā wai o Roto e

Kei wehi i te wehenga i tō awa

Tiro ki tua, tiro ki tua, tua

[Post Chorus/Korihi Tukuna]

Tua

Tua

Tua

Tua

[Verse 2/Rua Whiti]

He korokoro Tūī roto pakoro e

Kīia mai au e kore e rere

I mōhio au he nui noa atu rā

Tōku oranga, inā te hirahira

He oranga ngākau kei tua rā (Kei tua rā)

[Chorus/Korihi]

Tiro ki tua, (Ki) tua rā e

Whakarongo ki ngā wai o Roto e

Kеi wehi i te wehеnga i tō awa

Tiro ki tua, tiro ki tua, tua

[Post Chorus/Korihi Tukuna]

Tua

Tua

Tua

Tua

[Bridge/Whakamatuatanga]

Kia mau ki ō pae tawhiti

Ahakoa te kōkēi

He mana nui tō te āki

Hei aha te whakaaro-iti

[Chorus/Korihi]

Tiro ki tua, (Ki) tua rā e

Whakarongo ki ngā wai o Roto e

Kei wehi i te wehenga i tō awa

Tiro ki tua, tiro ki tua, tua

[Post Chorus/Korihi Tukuna]

Tua

Tua

Tua

Tua

Tua

Tua

Tua

Ti-tiro ki

Tua

[Chorus/Korihi]

Tiro ki tua, (ki) tua rā e

Whakarongo ki ngā wai o Roto e

Kei wehi i te wehenga i tō awa

Tiro ki tua, tiro ki tua, tua
