KO MATITIKURA, TE INGOA O TENEI KARARIA.^†

Hora te manawa i a Rangi,
Tina te manawa, ko Mauwhakatina,
Toka te manawa, ko Mauwhakatoka,
Tenei tama,
Te taka nei,
E taka ana tama,
I te mahaki,
Rukuhia, ki moana uriuri,
Rukuhia, ki moana teatea,
Tuturu ki te rangi,
Houtina,
Tawhia ki te rangi,
Houtake,
Kei o kakahu parapara to hara,
He kai tumua,
He kai nanua,
He kai riro ki roto ki a koe,
Taru toto,
He tapu te rangi kia tokona,
Kia mamao e na Whiro, e-i.
