lyrics

Pūngāwerewere hanga whare tukutuku
Hei hopu ngārara rere parihau
Whare tukutuku
Miro hāpiripiri
Hirahira
Mau herehere

Pūngāwerewere haere ngoingoi
Ki te hopu ngaro mau herehere

Whare tukutuku
Miro hāpiripiri
Hirahira
Mau herehere

Spider with house made of sticky thread
For catching insects on the wing

House of
Silky sticky
Silver
Entangling thread

Spider crawling
To catch an entangled fly

House of
Silky sticky
Silver
Entangling thread
