E ngau mai ana te hōtoke
The winter chill bites me
Waiho mai ahau kia noho
Let me be
Haere, hoatu koutou
Go on ahead, without me
Nau mai te waru whakahihiko
I welcome the electric vibe summer brings
Me puta rā? Ehara
Shall I go out? Hell yeah
Hanahana ana ko taku kiri
My skin is glowing
Noho ana i te rēhia
In the pursuit of pleasure
Kei taku taha taku kaingākau
With my lover at my side
E te tī, te tā, tahuti mai rā
Let’s go, one and all
Ki te ina i ngā hīhī o te rā
To bathe in the sun’s rays
Taku rite, ko Hinemoana
I’m like Hinemoana, the Ocean Maiden

E puta i te pō ki te ao mārama (rama, rama, rama)
Let’s escape the darkness and enter the world of light
Titiro ki mua, hoake tāua
Let’s look and move forward
Wai uri, wai pounamu
Aquamarine coloured waters shimmer
Kani ana ngā mōrehu
As the survivors dance
Whiua aku māharahara ki waho rā
I throw away all of my troubles
Hinengaro wātea
My mind is free

Hanahana ana ko taku kiri
My skin is glowing
Noho ana i te rēhia
In the pursuit of pleasure
Kei taku taha taku kaingākau
With my lover at my side
E te tī, te tā, tahuti mai rā
Let’s go, one and all
Ki te ina i ngā hīhī o te rā
To bathe in the sun’s rays
Taku rite, ko Hinemoana
I’m like Hinemoana, the Ocean Maiden

E puta i te pō ki te ao mārama (rama, rama, rama)
Let’s escape the darkness and enter the world of light
Piri mai Hine-raumati
Stay close Hine-raumati, the Summer Maiden


Taukamo kia puta rā koe ki te ao mārama, rama, mārama
Blink and enter the world of light
