| Tangata pai a Hone
| Hone is a good man
|
| Pakari ana te tū mai
| The stand is strong
|
| Takatū ana, tāria ana e te ao
| The world is ready and waiting
|
| Tē hoki mai, tē auraki mai
| Don't come back, don't come back
|
| Ngaro ana i a ia te mana
| He lost control
|
| He ao hurihuri, he ao horihori
| It is a changing world, a world of vanity
|
| Tāweko ana te taura tangata
| The human rope is twisted
|
| Motu ana te taura karawa, ā…
| The cable is broken, by…
|
| Pōhēhē ana a Hēni
| Jane was confused
|
| I te huarahi tika ia
| He was on the right track
|
| Mahue ngā hoa, haere atu ana
| The friends left and left
|
| Tē huri mai anō
| Don't come back
|
| Ngaro ana i a ia te mana
| He lost control
|
| Kimi tikanga hou, he ao horihori
| Find new methods, an artificial world
|
| Tāweko ana te taura tangata
| The human rope is twisted
|
| Motu ana te taura karawa, ā…
| The cable is broken, by…
|
| Ka mate! | It will die! |
| Ka mate! | It will die! |
| Ka ora! | Be saved! |
| Ka ora!
| Be saved!
|
| Ka mate! | It will die! |
| Ka mate! | It will die! |
| Ka ora! | Be saved! |
| Ka ora!
| Be saved!
|
| Tēnei te tangata pūhuruhuru
| Here is the hairy man
|
| Nāna nei i tiki mai
| He brought it
|
| Whakawhiti te rā
| Change the date
|
| Upane, ka upane
| Upane, upane
|
| Upane, ka upane
| Upane, upane
|
| Whiti te rā! | The sun is shining! |
