Ka rongo i ngā roimata o Rangi
Ka oho te wairua i te wehi
Ka hoki ngā mahara ki mua
Ki te tīmatanga o te ao mārama
Mai te rangi ki te whenua
He tuna e huna ana
I te ataata
O te manawa
He tuna e huna ana
Ka whakawarea e te tuna
Ka hīrautia he pārurenga
Ka toromi i te whakamā
I te maharatanga o ngā hapa katoa
Kua murua ngā hara
Me mātou e muru nei
Kaua e whakawarea
Hāpaitia, whakaorangia
Eel- a translation
I hear the tears of Rangi
The spirit wakes up with excitement
The mind goes back to the beginning
To the beginning of this world
From heaven to earth
There’s an eel hiding
In the shadow
Of the heart
There’s an eel hiding
The eel entices
Trapping yet another victim
Drowned in thoughts of shame
Of all the mistakes made
Sins are forgiven
As we forgive each other
Don’t tempt or be tempted
Lift up and restore
