Te Waiata Ruru

Ki runga te rakau, i te po,
Ka mai te ruru kua awatea.
Ki runga te rakau, i te po,
Ka mai te ruru kua awatea.

Ruru, ruru.
Ka mai te ruru kua awatea.
Ruru, ruru.
Ka mai te ruru kua awatea.

Up in the tree, in the night,
See the owl waking up.
Up in the tree, in the night,
See the owl waking up.

Ruru, ruru.
See the owl waking up.
Ruru, ruru.
See the owl waking up.
