Tipu a nuku kia huanui
Tipu a Rangi kia huaroa
Waiti kia ngahue ki roto
Waita kia ngahue ki waho
Waipuna-a-rangi kia mahoe
Toia mai te ranga mata e
Kia hawere ia koutou katoa
Ngā mata o te ariki
He aha na o tohu whakairia ki te rangi
Kopuretea ki te whenua
Homai he tau nui
Homai he tauranea
Matariki kokoia e
Ururangi kia tupore i runga
Pohutukawa kia atawhai ki raro
Hiwai-te-rangi kia makohakoha
He huarahi ngā karu o Tawhirimatea
E kite ai he aha kei tua e
Toia mai te rana mata e
Kia pari ia koutou katoa
Ngā mata o te ariki
He aha na o tohu whakairia ki te rangi
Kopuretea ki te whenua
Homai he tau nui
Homai he tauranea
Matariki kokoia e (Oh)
Matariki kokoia e
Tataia rorangi tatai kapuarangi tatai ara whitu na rangi
Tataia ara whenua Tatai urahau
Ko Matariki tenei te kaito i te tau koi te tau
Matariki Ngā mata o te ariki
He aha na o tohu whakairia ki te rangi
Kopuretea ki te whenua
Homai he tau nui
Homai he tauranea
Matariki kokoia e (Oh)
Matariki kokoia e
