HE AWA MOANA, KO TE AWA O REHUA.

Ka hura tangata-uta,
Te tiaki atu ki tangata-tai,
Ka hura tangata-tai,
Te tiaki atu ki tangata-uta,
Pera hoki ra,
Te Korepenui,
Te Koreperoa,
Te wahi awa,
Te totoe awa,
Whakamoe,
Ko Tu,
Ko Rongo,
Tama i a ia te awa,
Kauraka tama e purutia,
Tukua atu tama,
Kia puta i waho,
I te tawhangawhanga,
He putanga ariki,
No Rongo,
Ki te ata tauira mai e i.
