| Hoki mai e Tama | mā ki ro | to, ki roto |
| G | Em |
| I ngā | ringa e tu | whera atu nei |

| Kei te | kapakapa mai | te ha | ki (te haki) |

| Hoki | mai, hoki mai, | ki te | wā kāinga |
| G | G7 | C |
| Kei te | kapakapa | mai te ha | ki (te haki) |
| G | Em | Am | D7 | G |
| I ngā | rangi | runga | Tia | mana | e |
| Hoki ruarua mai e Tama mā | |
| Ki ngā iwi e tatari atu nei | |
| Kua mahue atu rā ngā tini hoa | |
| Nā Te Moana rā ko te Wikitoria | |
| Hei whaka-maumahara-tanga e | |
| Ki o rātau tinana kei pāmamao | |
| Ki o rātau ingoa kei muri nei | |
| Come back boys into, into | |
| these arms outstretched here | |
| as fluttering is the flag, the flag | |
| in the skies over Germany | |
| Come back, come back to the village life | |
| Our wish has been fulfilled | |
| as fluttering is the flag, the flag | |
| in the skies over Germany. | |
| You return fewer in number, boys | |
| To the people waiting for you | |
| You have left many friends | |
| In foreign soil, among strange peoples | |
| The Victoria Cross won by Moana | |
| And the memories with us still | |
