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
