Ka mate Ka mate (It is death It is death)

Ka ora Ka ora (It is life It is life)

Ka mate Ka mate (It is death It is death)

Ka ora Ka ora (It is life It is life)

Tenei Te Tangata Puhuruhuru (This is the hairy man )

Nana i tiki mai whakawhiti te ra (Who caused the sun to shine again for me )

Upane Upane (Up the ladder Up the ladder )

Upane Kaupane (Up to the top )

Whiti te ra (The sun shines!)
