Tapa reireia tapa
Konunua tapa
Tapa konunua koe ana tukua
Tapa reia tapa
Konunua tapa
Konunua koe ana tukua

Ka hao i runga
Ka hao i raro
Ka hao i te manawa

Taku taanga manawa

First place to see the sun
Te Tairāwhiti is always on
Best be ready for the time of your life
Cruising down to Highway 35
Whakarongo ake
Harapa ana te Ngāti ki te riu o Waiapu
Tū ake, tū ake, Te Whakatōhea
He Wīwī Naati nō Porourangi
E ko te Kuti, te Wera, te Haua ko Apanui

Tapa reireia tapa
Konunua tapa
Tapa konunua koe ana tukua
Tapa reia tapa

Konunua tapa
Konunua koe ana tukua

Ka hao i runga
Ka hao i raro
Ka hao i te manawa
Taku taanga manawa

Ruatorea pies are the one and only
Tūtaki ki te Haati Naati
Mmm te reka
Whakatata, tata rawa, whakatata tata rawa
Tata ki Waiparapara
Waiparapara
State Highway 35
Tokomaru for a pāua pie

Straight down to Whāngara, tama ko Paikea
Wai weherua, Tūranga

Tapa reireia tapa
Konunua tapa
Tapa konunua koe ana tukua
Tapa reia tapa
Konunua tapa
Konunua koe ana tukua

Ka hao i runga
Ka hao i raro
Ka hao i te manawa
Taku taanga manawa
