Where has Ohinerau gone?
Tāmaki-makau-rau I’ve left your
Volcanic shores
The Tararuas is where my head lies
Kapiti’s tides wash over my skin
My torso sinks into the sand of Horowhenua
My heart twists to see your shape
Climbing the slopes of Maungawhau
The distance is too great
But in the evening
I can hear your voice
Travelling across Te Ika-a-Māui
Aro hā
Aro hā
Aro hā
