Whatiwhati to hope
Ringa pakia e
(Pakia pakia)
Waewae takahia
Ka huri o kanohi e
(Ka huri kanohi)
Titiro whakarunga
Titiro whakararo
Haere whakamua
Hoki whakamuri
Whatiwhati to hope
Ka huri to tinana e
Sway your hips
Slap your thighs
(Slap your thighs)
Move your feet
And turn your eyes
(Turn your eyes)
Look upwards
Look downwards
Go forward
Come back
Sway your hips
And turn your whole body around
