Tai Aroha

Ko te aroha anō he wai
E pupū ake ana
He awa e māpuna mai ana
I roto i te whatumanawa (x2)
Ko tōna mātāpuna he hōhonu Ā inā ia ka rere anō (x2)
He tai timu He tai pari He tai ope He tai roa He tai nui He tai nui
He tai nui.

English translation
Love is like water
continually bubbling up,
a spring that will keep flowing
from within your soul.
Its source is deep within,
it has a soothing effect
An ebb tide
An incoming tide A forceful tide
A long-lasting tide A full tide.
