[Verse 1]
Me pēhea rā a roto nei
E kore noa e hinga ai
Tautoko mai
Tukuna atu ngā mahara o piropiro
Ka titiro, kua riro, riro atu e
Te manawaroatanga
Kia mau, kia ita

[Pre-Chorus]
Ahakoa ngā taumahatanga o tēnei mea te oranga
Rapua te ara
Mai arara, e ara

[Chorus]
He tangata koe
Tauheke atu koe
Ka mau kanohi kē
He tangata koe, auē
Whakatata mai
Whakapiri mai

[Verse 2]
Kei pōhēhē ki tāu e kite ai e
Horo ana, ka horo ōku whenua
Me tika a mua kia tae koe ki tua
Kei hinga koe, maranga mai ai koe
Tukua tō katoa, tukuna atu rā
Kia mau, kia ita
[Pre-Chorus]
Ahakoa ngā taumahatanga o tēnei mea te oranga
Kia mau ki te ipukarea
Rapua te ara
Mai arara, e ara

[Chorus]
He tangata koe
Tauheke atu koe
Ka mau kanohi kē
Hе tangata koe, auē
Whakatata mai
Whakapiri mai
He tangata koe
Tauhеke atu koe
Ka mau kanohi kē
He tangata koe, auē
Whakatata mai
Whakapiri mai
