Ka pioioi

Ka pioioi e tohu aroha haukainga
E hoki mai rā
E hoki mai rā, kia kite atu i tō iwi e
E rotarota ana
E rotarota ana, e katakata ana mai rā
Pukana Whētero
Pukana whētero mai, I te ihi a o Mātua
Kia kite atu ano
Kia kite atu ano, i to ataahua ai kanapa rā
Pupuhi ai e te hau
Pupuhi ai e te hau, kapohia aku roimata
Ka pioioi
Ka pioioi he tohu aroha haukainga
Repeat song again from E hoki mai rā.

English translation

Wavering
A symbol of familial love
Returning, to see your people
Feeling nostalgic, smiling
A defiant gaze, with the pride of your ancestors
Seeing again, your captivating beauty
Blown by the wind, my tears are caught
Wavering, a symbol of familial love
