IHO by Geneva AM

Kupu
Whakatühia te whare köwhanga
Karakia kite marama
Te pito, te iho, te whenua
Te pito, te lho, te whenua
Haere mai, e pè, i te whare tangata
Whakanoa i te tapu kia mahi tika
E rere haere taku manawa
Kua rite taku wairua
Te pito, te iho, te whenua
Te pito, te lho, te whenua
Haere mai, e pè, i te whare tangata
Karanga ake au kia whai mai to tinana
Hà ki roto, hâ ki waho x 4
Kua tae mai aku tipuna
Homai to kaha me to aroha
Te pito, te iho, te whenua
Te pito, te lho, te whenua
Mai i te po ki te ao mãrama
Karakia mai kia whakatika
Te pito, te iho, te whenua
Te pito, te lho, te whenua
Te pito, te iho, te whenua
Te pito, te lho, te whenua

Kupu Pakeha
Erect the birth house
Pray to the moon
The belly button, the umbilical cord, the
placenta x2
Come along baby from the uterus
Remove the Tapu to work on a direct course
My heart is racing
My soul is prepared
The belly button, the umbilical cord, the
placenta x2
Come along baby from the uterus
I am calling so your body may follow
Breath in, Breath out x4
My ancestors have arrived
Give me your strength and your love
The belly button, the umbilical cord, the
placenta x2
From the darkness to the world of light
Pray to prepare (for the baby)
The belly button, the umbilical cord, the
placenta x4
