Whiti te Marama
Whiti te marama i te pō
Tīaho iho mai koe
Hei karu mō te mata o te pō (x2)
Tō ana te rā ki te moe e
Tīaho iho mai koe
Hei karu mō te mata o te pō (x2)
Ki te kore koe te karu o te pō
Pōuri ana taku ara e (x2)
Hoki ana ahau ki te moe e
Tīaho iho mai koe
Hei karu mō te mata o te pō (x2)
Whitiwhiti ana e te marama i te pō (x2)
Whiti the Moon
The moon shines in the night
You beam down
The eye to the face of the night
When the sun sets to sleep
You beam down
The eye to the face of the night
Without you the eye of the night
My path is lost
When I turn to sleep
You beam down
The eye to the face of the night
Forever shining, the moon of the night
